Financial disclosure in divorce: completing Form E

Form E is the standard financial disclosure document used in financial remedy proceedings. Both parties must complete it fully and honestly. Failure to disclose assets is contempt of court.

Section 1: Property

List all property in which you have an interest, including the family home, any investment properties, and overseas property. For each property: current value (obtain a recent estate agent valuation), outstanding mortgage, and your percentage share.

Section 2: Financial assets

Include bank accounts, ISAs, shares, premium bonds, and any other savings or investments. Use the most recent statements. Include accounts in your sole name and any joint accounts.

Section 3: Pensions

Obtain a Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) for each pension you hold. This applies to defined benefit (final salary) and defined contribution pensions. State pension is not included in the CETV but should be mentioned.

Section 4: Income

Provide details of all income: employment (with last 3 payslips and P60), self-employment (last 3 years’ accounts), rental income, benefits, and any other sources. Include gross and net figures.
