Hi There,
.
Firstly the interim order issue, write another letter to the court if you have been assigned a case number then include this and ask them to include an interim order at the first hearing, maybe hand deliver this if time is short to ensure it gets there, some judges will automatically set an interim order others won't unless it has been asked for.
.
If you go to court alone, you can make as many notes as you want so take plenty of paper and a spare pen (just in case)
.
The judge will normally say at the end a rough idea of how long before the next hearing, there maybe more than just the first and then a final depending on the issues you have, (I had about 3-4 before the final hearing) my ex took a solicitor to the first hearing and then went on her own, and I recieved all the agreed points from the court along with the next hearing date, I would imagine that they ask the solicitor to write out the agreed points so the can then compair to ensure nothing has been missenturpreted.
.
Good luck and ask any other questions you have and we will try and help.

i have been given a hearing date now for febuary, just want to know now what i do now do i need to make any statemnets etc or just go n show up with
my papers and notes etc and any evedence becase i been told today i have to fill some more forms thats being posted to me and i have hand them into the
clerk on the day all filled in,

When you have submitted your application form the court will either send your ex the papers notifying her about the hearing, (this is called serving) or they will send the paperwork back to you so that you can serve them on her. If they want you to serve her you will receive these copies back -

C100 x 2 .... One copy for your records and one to serve on the other party and if you filled in a C1A supplementary form you would receive a copy of the one you filled in for your records and a blank copy to serve on the other party.

C6 x 2....This is the notice of proceedings with information about the date and time of the hearing and you keep one and serve the other copy on the respondent.

C7 x 1....This is for the respondent to fill in and return to the court to acknowledge they have received the papers, so this is for the respondent. They should send you a copy back for your records.

C9 x 1... This is the statement of service which you fill in after you have served the papers on the other party and then you return it to the court. You would enter the method of service and this is your evidence that it had been done. Make a copy for your records

If you are getting a McKenzie Friend they will be able to talk you through what needs to be done and when.

thanks, will let u know hopefully tomorrow or fri wen i get the papers whats been sent to me
