Hi - Looking for some advice please. I had a solicitor until last week, but had to cancel her services due to the high costs (I've spent £9,000 on her services but in my opinion, she hasn't really been much help. Divorce has been dragging on now for over a year and I'm still living with my husband).
I'm now acting for myself, Litigant in Person. I'm supposed to fill in some forms for court by 3rd April 2024. Our First Appointment in court is 8th May. What forms do I need to fill in by 3rd April? Can anyone help me? Is it just form E? I'm really confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The notice of first appointment should give general directions - have you read the whole form? It's normally a couple of pages long and the smaller print would normally describe what is required.

The first thing is the Form E financial disclosure which needs to be sent to the court and exchanged with the other side. It has to be accompanied by various documents including 12 months statements for each bank account, pension information and details of any liabilities. I would focus on that.
