Hi, has anybody had any experience with this: I've received my ex H's Position Statement before the FDR hearing and there are quite a few untrue statements. Can I prepare a response and hand it to the judge and H's solicitor before the FDR hearing?
Thank you!!

You can... But should probably sent it as soon as possible to both the court and the other side. Take copies with you to the hearing as well.

Provide evidence to support your position. This must be given to the other side as well.

Keep any statement short and to the point.

Thank you Hadenoughnow! The court is on Tuesday already, I might try to file it an hour before the hearing, or maybe the day before. Do you know how I should call this statement? Thanks so much!

Have you already done a position statement?

If you haven't just call it Applicant/respondent's position statement, depending on which you are.

If you have you can call it something like supplementary statement in response to applicant/respondent's position statement. You may want to ask the judge to strike out their document or at least elements of it and say why very briefly.

Be aware the Fdr is not the place to cross examine evidence so unless there is agreement on the evidence, any dispute over it makes it hard for the judge to offer an opinion on settlement.
