Hello,
I am representing myself as the respondent in a financial remedy case brought by my Ex Husband. I have had help preparing the Questionnaire and Statement of Issues- but his solicitors have just told me i have to complete an ES1 and ES2.
Brief outline: Married 10 yrs, 3 kids, separated 5 yrs, he is cohabiting, I am not (but in relationship), no
matrimonial home (lived in rented), he now earns £85k+ I earn £30k including state benefits as working part time (32hrs).
I am struggling to understand the terminology on the ES1 and what I need to put where!
My questions are:
1. in the
ORDERS SOUGHT AT THIS HEARING box he has:- Parties’ to be directed to reply to Questionnaires within 21 days.- Both parties to provide evidence of housing needs/mortgage capacity.- FDR to be listed on the first available date thereafter.
Do i repeat these? or do I need to write my own?
This is what I have so far:- H to declare full value of his cryptoholding- physical and online cryptowallets (gaps identified here by solicitor)- H to obtain valuation of his cars and boat (obviously false values provided)- H to provide
CETV valuations for all pensions (no CETV statements in his
form E)- H to provide 12 months credit card statements (only 1 month provided, but bank accounts do not show who has been paying them off)
Does that sound ok? Any advice appreciated!
Then for the box:
OTHER MATERIAL INFORMATION
he has:- H has increased his income post separation.- H will say W is not maximising her earning capacity.- *Our eldest* is living with H because of relationship difficulties with W.
This is what I have so far:· H has not provided a true valuation of his assets· H has not disclosed the true extent of his income· H has presented “loans” from family members to purposefully inflate his liabilities
Again, any advice/info greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
