Recorded Webinar: Drafting Essentials for Interim Property and Costs Matters: A Primer for Family Lawyers

The financial statement and affidavit can make or break your client’s interim property application or interim costs order. As these matters are determined “on the papers”, the evidence contained in the financial statement and affidavit is crucial. It’s important that you get them right, without being swamped by the technical. This practical session shows you how. It covers:

• Making sense of the financial jargon before putting pen to paper
• Drafting to ensure the financial circumstances of both parties are adequately set out in the statement
• Do the figures in the financial statement make sense in light of what you are asking?
• Ensuring the evidence explains how the costs order is to be met
• What supporting documentation do you need regarding financial circumstances
• Drafting when the financial structure is quite complex – involving, for example, multiple trusts or business entities
