Hi
Finally got a court date for my first hearing

I am already confused -so would appreciate some guidance
1= I send the notice of response to the first hearing-- do i send it to the same court i am appearing?

2= Also i must file a standard form of financial statement with full details of property and income....So is this a full financial statement (form E) Is this to include all my bank statements/CETV's etc?

3= I am aware i need to send them to my ex's solicitor but we swopped full disclosure in July -do i now just send him my additional wage slips/bank statements etc
from July till september or start again with the whole lot?

Finally all documents and form E -go to the court which i am appearing?
Sorry if that sounds a stupid question -but i had to originally apply to Liverpool

Many thanks for reading and supporting x

Hi,

I attended the first direct appointment in July and submitted Form E in June.

I have my Resolution hearing on 31st October and have just submitted my "updated disclosure". You do NOT have to update and resent an updated Form E which is what I did :(Sadly as a LIP I misunderstood the court instructions and assumed I needed to update the For E with current figures (Never mind) you just need to send last 3 months bank statements and wage slips.

Best of luck !!

Many thanks for responding
So just to clarify for a court newbie
I submit a completed financial disclosure to the court with all requested documents
Then on my next apperance it will just be last 3 months bank/wage slips?

If the previous Form E was exchanged on a voluntary basis, you will need to complete a full fresh Form E and exchange again as well as filing with the court.

For subsequent hearings you will likely be asked for updating disclosure. This mainly relates to bank statements but could include any updated valuations, ie for pensions if those previously supplied are more than 12 months old or a thing else that reflects changes in your circumstances.
