Fill out the Notice of Family Claim (Form F3)
You'll need:
- Notice of Family Claim (Form F3)
The Notice of Family Claim (Form F3) has a main section and five schedules. (Schedules are separate sections.) Each schedule relates to a different type of order. Fill out the sections that relate to the orders you're asking the court to make.
Filling out the first four pages of the Notice of Family Claim. The form has instructions to help you fill it out.
Keep in mind as you fill out your form:
- You are the claimant.
- Your spouse is the respondent.
- Use your full names, including middle names.
- If you or your spouse had a legal name change through Vital Statistics since you were married, put that new name on your form. Bring along a copy of the Vital Statistics change of name certificate when you file your documents.
- If you or your spouse often use an unofficial alias (nickname) or a name other than the name on your marriage certificate, include the alias as well. Click the Add AKA/DBA button and enter the information in the fields provided.
Example: If your wife's legal name is Mary Jane Doe, but everyone calls her Janey Doe, click the Add AKA/DBA button. In the fields provided, enter Janey Doe.
If you're applying for an undefended divorce, the information about what you've agreed to that you put into your Notice of Family Claim and schedules must not contradict what's in your separation agreement, if you have one.
The five schedules (divorce, children, spousal support, property, and other) are in the PDF form. They are hidden when you first open the file. To make them appear:
- At the top of the form, click Fill In Form.
- On page 3, under The Claimant's Claims, tick the appropriate boxes.
- As you tick the first five options, the schedule for that option appears at the bottom of the form.
