Form E Questions

[Farmer Jones]

We separated in Dec 2016. Decree Nisi in July 2017. No absolute.

Am completing Form E as a litigant in person and need some help, please.

I am employed full time (for the last 15 months starting in Sept 2017, after 6 months out of work following collapse of business.

I am a member of my employers pension scheme and share incentive scheme.

Do I put down membership of the pension scheme in Form E as I joined the scheme after the separation & Decree Nisi ?

Do I put down membership of the share incentive scheme in Form E as I joined the scheme after the separation & Decree Nisi ?

I am expecting a whopper of a Tax bill from HMRC and a whopper of an accountants bill as well...should I put these down as contingent liability ?

Thanks

Hi FJ,
Everything should be included so there is a complete picture. The dates will be significant but also the possible liabilities for tax too. If you can try and establish the likely tax bill you could face that would help, rather than just indicating you're expecting a whopper.

Tax bill, it could be around £80K - £100K, possibly more. My former wife will face the same amount. This would pretty much wipe out the equity in the property, save around £100K.

My former wife runs her own business currently and I am paying the mortgage on the former home, arrears and child maintenance. Those three total 70% of my monthly income, currently.

Other liabilities include £60K of legal & credit card debt (I have a Debt Management Plan in place).

Its not a pretty picture, I cannot afford a solicitor.

I rather think I will declare bankruptcy once the HMRC bill is known.

How will that effect the divorce outcome ?
