You have to fill in a financial statement (Form E) if you are going to court in England or Wales to get a financial order after you’ve split up with your ex-husband, wife or civil partner. If you're doing this without the help of a lawyer, it’s a very daunting prospect. So that’s why we’ve made this film to help. 

Watch Rosemary as she completes her own form and explains what details you put where, and what all the gobbledygook actually means. Rosemary talks about a helpful checklist in the film. You can now find this in the extended version of our guide about going to court for a financial settlement as part of your divorce.

We produced this film in 2019 but it is all still correct today.

The film supports our guide to going to court for a financial order to finalise your finances when you divorce or end a civil partnership. The guide also talks about how to do your financial statement, as well as explaining, step-by-step, how to get a financial order.

Through the guide, at the most important points, you can access our panel of expert family law solicitors for tailored legal advice at a reduced fixed-fee price. 

As you read through the guide you can get expert advice on:

• Form E and how to obtain the more complicated bits of information you need.
• Any questions you have about filling in the form.
• How to complete part 4.
• Any extra reports you may need and how to get them.
• What your next steps should be.
