agreed consent order and Form A

Hi. I and my x2b have agreed a Consent Order which I took to the court with my statement of financail info. Then i was asked to fill in a Form A Application for Ancillary Relief Form which took me by surprise. They told me to write for dismissal purposes only on it which i did and also ticked the boxes which seemed relevent to my consent order. I have now received a letter from the court saying " form A required from husband for dismissal purposes as form A is from wife and without an aplication from the husband the court has no ancilliary relief issues on which to order as asked" I feel i am so close to finishing this but just don't understand this bit (ditched the solicitor months ago due to expense)

Hoping someone can help - I know its very specific but feel so close to the end and am tired of it all and just want to move on

Hi Voldermort,

I think there is some information missing here. Who is the Petitioner for divorce and who is the Applicant for Ancillary Relief?

YA

Hi

I am both the petitioner and the applicant for ancilliary relief - although all I was trying to do was have these claims dismissed ( except in sofar as our consent order includes a property adj order and a lump sum order)

Hi Voldermort,

The purpose of having your husband fill out a Form A and mark it "for dismissal purposes" is so that he cannot apply later.

I am useless at computers so I have copied and pasted below an answer to Ladybelle who had a query about how to apply for a consent order if self-repping:



I suggest you send a cover letter to the court along the lines of:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re Case No. XX YY ZZZZZZ

Further to the above proceedings which are scheduled for a FDR?Final? Hearing at the court at 00.00am on Day Month Year, we the undersigned:

a) confirm that we have reached an agreement and ask the Court to vacate the ....... Hearing

b) enclose by way of application for a consent order the following documents:
i) Respondent's Form A for dismissal purposes
ii) Statement of Information Form D81 countersigned by both parties
iii) Parties' Minutes of Agreement
iv) Two copies of the Petitioner's and Respondent's proposed Consent Order and duplicate clean copy
v) Petitioner's cheque for £X by way of fee

Please place this letter before the judge.

We look forward to receiving the Consent Order as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

The above is what I did and I was also both the Petitioner in the divorce and the Applicant for Ancillary Relief so . . . . . that should be that!

Good luck!


YA

PS Leave out whatever doesn't apply
