Hi, I am new here.
I have been seperated for a year following a long period of problems. I have been in a long term marriage. The matter is now in the hands of solicitors since the last five months (my partners choice). My solicitor has now filed for divorce and we have exchanged form E's.
My form E was incredible detailed whilst my partner missed out an many items. I pointed out these missing items directly in a chat, but stated I wasnt going to be picky as it was volentary and hopefully she would therefore not be picky about mine. Roll forward several weeks and I have just recieved a huge list of questions. some of the questions are clearly there to create chaos and irrelavant in the scheme of any settlement. I'm curious to know if it is compulsory to answer every detail or simply reply that the form E was volentary, provides adequate information for the recent twelve month period and that is enough for the time being to try and agree the basis of a settlement. In time all form E's require updating as it is only a snap shot. This feels like my wife attempting to get answers on my private life since our seperation. I am dissapointed at my solicitor for simply forwarding the list of questions saying "complete when you can". I had hoped my solicitor would be protecting me from additional stress and hassle.

Form E has to be true and accurate with supporting bank statements etc supplied.

You can each send questionnaires to clarify points which must be answered. If the answer is already on the form E point that out.

If there is information missing from hers it must be supplied and your questions answered,

Exchanging form E before you have to may have been voluntary but idling them in properly isn’t.
