Hi there

Please help!My partner wishes to self-represent in court regarding the division of assets. He is the Petitioner and the Respondent refuses to amicably agree to the sale of the house, despite her living in a 4 bedroomed detached house with one of the children, whilst he has care of one of the children and is living at his mothers (sharing a bed with his son in a tiny bedroom).

Please could you let me know which form he will require to apply to the courts to order the sale of the house (we appreciate that the judge needs to decide if this is appropriate) and for the division of assets. I have looked through the justice.gov.uk site and have no idea what to look for. He is currently waiting for the Decree Absolute.

Thank you!!

To make an application to court in respect of the marital assets, your partner will need to first complete and submit Form A - he will also be required by law to first attend a mediation MIAM (and his spouse will also be invited to attend) - should she refuse or if mediation fails then the mediator will sign a FM1 form which he will need to submit with the Form A.

There is more about the Ancillary Relief process here - Apply for AR . If your partner is intending on represnting himself, it would be a good idea for him to join Wikivorce himself and make use of the forum and information .
