School trips
Dental treatment - orthodontics (don't know ages of your children but it can be expensive!)

Long term but think of university costs - tuition fees etc

That website is great, thank you.

Also thank you for your suggestions here.

Does anyone know of bank statements for 12 months has to be the full statement which, if it's a busy month cold next 20 pages lint(!) or can it be one A4 summary heading? To show overall I going and outgoing with a balance? Which would be 12 pages in total.

Phones, laptops for school

School trips
Pocket money
Sports / dance equipment, club subs, coaching fees
Travel to matches / competitions
Music lessons
Swimming lessons
Tutors for school work

I included the full statements, every nitty gritty detail. Yes, it felt incredibly intrusive.

If it's for division of assets and needs (rather than just for kid stuff) don't forget about funding a car (and it's upkeep) and property maintenance

Unless the stronger financial party earns megabucks, isn't filling in a Form E to such a level of detail a bit pointless? Presumably the stronger financial party will do the same and then it will end up with the normal "70/30 split of current assets offsetting pensions in return and no spousal maintenance?"
