Hi, hoping someone can give me a bit of guidance - I was planning on taking my Petition to the County Court, but just realised it's only open between 10 & 4 so I've got no chance of getting there for weeks due to work commitments. Everything I've read tells me that I need to take 3 copies of the Petition and 3 copies of the statement of arrangements for children, but that one of those copies is for myself. If that's the case, do I just need to send 2 to the court and keep one, or do they need all 3?

Hope that's not too daft a question :blush:

Thanks,
jxr

There are no daft questions on Wiki, they are only easy if you know the answer :)

Send two and keep the third copy, send it recorded delivery.

I rang them today to ask the exact same question!

They told me to send the 3 copies of each in, plus the cheque for £340 and also the marriage certificate.

she was pretty helpful, but did say always better if you can take it in as they will go through it with you to make sure youve crossed all the ts
