Acting in matrimonial finance matters requires a precise and focused approach to the preparation of documents and evidence.

This toolkit contains over 30 template documents drafted by a practitioner with 20 years' experience who gives advice on how to tailor each template for different types of cases.

Using this toolkit will help your firm to:

• increase efficiency by systematising the financial remedy process
• reduce the time spent on drafting, dictating and typing letters
• manage the risk of errors, omissions and inconsistencies in drafting
• allow some work to be carried out by trainees and paralegals.

The comprehensive and reliable templates cover every aspect of the work, from issue to final hearing, including guidance on how to draft the Form E, questionnaire and letters to settle to avoid the final hearing where possible.

All the templates are also included on the accompanying CD for ease of customisation.
