Section 25 Statement

Section 25 Statement Simon Walland Family Law

At the second hearing (FDR) the Judge will look at what money is available and try to guide you both to reaching a settlement.  This can fail to materialise for a range of reasons, high expectations, feeling entitled, being a bully, not understanding the process or even that the Judge has made a mistake.

If an agreement is not made the court will send you both off to go through a final hearing.  The process changes at that point as everything that has happened so far becomes less relevent and it is up to you to fight your corner.  There are probably disagreements about what money is available/hidden/disappeared, or a disagreement about what share of the money is fair.

There are many pitfalls in attending a Final Hearing, especially representing yourself, but if you have no choice and have to continue forging ahead, you will need to comply with the court and need to understand what is expected of you in court.

An essential element to this is the Section 25 Statement.  It has to be written carefully and needs to cover all of the relevent financial information that the court will need to consider.

Advice

In an ideal world you would be represented in court, but if that is not possible and you do need to continue representing yourself you will need advice to be prepared.  The Final Hearing will require cross examination, a closing submisison, and an awareness of how the court process works.
