The applicant is the party that made the initial application to court and the respondent is the other party named in the application, this applies from the beginning of the case until,the final hearing.
Costs can build up very quickly, but 7K for the FoF seems excessive even by their standards!

Hey,
Was wondering if you managed to dig out that example report? Would be good to get started on the report and my evidence now, I know she hasn't given in the evidence yet or her Scott table however I'd like to get the upper hand and just justify anything she could possibly raise.
In addition, do you put anything else on the document such as your concerns for the mother? I don't have much evidence on her which is going to make this a lot harder for me to justify. I have phone recordings that I will be going through over the weekend. I am not going to go to the police until the Scott table has been received, so I can ask for reports etc.
The mother seems to be screen shotting a lot of my stuff from snap chat, not sure why as it doesn't prove anything!
Struggled to get it to upload but it’s as the previous post i made.
Be very careful posting anything negative against her or could be interpreted about her or your fight etc… to Social media or any other formats - Snatchat etc… that could be seen by her or her friends and screen shot.
I put a post up about 5yrs or so ago saying what stunt the evil b*tch had just tried on me and that the police had been and realised she was the one being the harasser and they’d gone to hand her [censored] too her (or words to that affect!)
Within an hour i’d deleted the post as i suddenly thought it may have overstepped the line….few months later in court for enforcement of contact she produced a screen shot of it!
The judge made a comment about it not being appropriate to post such things….i defended myself saying it was the truth and provided the evidence that the police had been and given her a warning for wasting police time! ….the judge accepted that but said that no matter how true they may be i shouldn’t post things like that!
Slap on the wrist and sorry your honour it won’t happen again
Thanks for that it's much appreciated. My ex is two days late giving me her allegations anyway which I feel isn't fair as it gives me two days less time to put my evidence together!
Have you contacted the court to tell them that she is late filing? Tell them you haven't received her allegations (Scott Schedule) and ask for the time you have been given to respond to be extended proportionately, and that as soon as you receive it, you will contact the court and let them know.
