I am sorry if this has been answered, but I am completely confused and getting a headache with all of this.
I submitted my C100 to the courts and paid £215 last monday, I've since received C6 [Notice Of Proceedings] forms back, a C9 [Statement Of Service] form and a C7 [Acknowledgement] form.
I'm reading the CB3 [Serving the forms] leaflet and I'm totally confused as to what I do actually send to the respondent (My Ex).
I don't believe she has a solicitor so I will file direct to her, but do I send the C6 & C7, or do I just send the C6 form? I am seeking a Contact Order with my son. This is the first time I have filed any court order regarding my son. I have some phone calls which I may want as evidence so do I need to send copies of these as well, and if so who do I send them too?
Any help would be much appreciated, it's really stressing me out lately.
You need to send the respondent a copy of the C100 (and copies of anything else that you may have filed at the court), send the C6 and the C7. She should fill in the C7 and return it to the court and send you a copy to acknowledge that she has received the papers.
After she has been served you must then fill in the C9, make a copy for yourself and send the completed copy back to the court so that they know you've served the respondent.
I don't think you need to submit any evidence as yet. The judge will let you know what he/she wants to see/hear at the Directions Appointment. Keep hold of all of your evidence though in case you need it for the 2nd hearing.
As JayneMax says you need to serve her with copies of....
C100
C6
C7
...and once these have been served fill in the C9 and return it to the court. You also need to fill in the C7 and return that to the court too, and as JayneMax says make copies of these for your own records.
You will find your case number at the top left of the Notice of Proceedings and you will use this and quote it in any future correspondence with the court. They will then be able to file any statements or other documents that you send to them concerning your case., including any evidence you wish to use. Again JayneMax is right, and you do not need to do this yet, wait until after the first directions hearing, the judge will instruct you then.
Thank you JayneMax & Nannyjane.
The legal system really needs some simplicity injected into it sometimes.
Hi There,
The explination given as to what to send is spot on, only thing is make sure you send everything recorded so that you have proof it has been sent, as long as you have proof even if your ex doesn't respond to the papers the court can proceed.
