Frequently asked questions
Do I have to disclose everything?
Yes. Both of you have a legal duty to give full and honest disclosure of your finances, including assets held abroad, in a business or in someone else's name. Hiding assets can lead to an order being set aside, and costs consequences.
What if I cannot get a document?
Tell us. We can help you request documents from banks, pension providers and others, and the court can order disclosure if needed.
Is this checklist the same as Form E?
It is a practical guide to the documents Form E usually requires. If your case goes through the court, we will complete Form E with you.
