Family Finance Toolkit (Revised ed)

Ease the burden of ancillary relief. Getting the right answer in a money case depends on two things: first, on keeping an accurate log of raw data as it arrives; and secondly, on being able to present the material in such a format as will assist the court and confound the opposition.

All of which requires superior know-how and organisational skills.

Requiring no specialist knowledge, "Toolkit" is a premier package bringing together new case management features with all that is needed for pressing or defending a claim in court.

Calculators, precedents, form-filling and document tracking, plus a fully interactive Form E and client database, combine to ease the burden of ancillary relief.

It is completely reprogrammed for 2006. New design features make "Toolkit" ever more responsive to users' needs and set it apart from the competition. "Toolkit" is set to become the leading Form E package on the market. The exciting new features of the new "Family Finance Toolkit" include: opens a clients database that keeps track of financial information and enables it to be output to successive drafts (and final copy) of Form E; prints off and keeps a record of relevant court forms (A to I) and Practice Direction documents as they are filed; allows data to be entered on screen 'as is', with intuitive links to other parts of the file and to Form E; when required, the touch of a button assembles the data in court-ready format; permits detailed notes to be kept about the case, including the other side's financial position; and, includes the new 'Form E'.

This major upgrade makes "Toolkit" even easier to use than its predecessor and includes the new Form E introduced with effect from 5 December 2005 by the Family Proceedings (Amendment) (No 5) Rules 2005. "Toolkit's" custom designed interface means you can enter all the relevant information unrestricted by the size of the box on Form E.

Running totals and other calculations (for example ages) are produced on screen as you work. As standard, "Toolkit" creates a summary of the case on one sheet of A4, to be used as an aide memoire of as a presentational document at court.

When you are finished, or when you want to review your work, the Form E is assembled dynamically from the information previously entered.

Other new features for 2006 include: slimmed-down Pension Form; direct links to Duckworth: Matrimonial Property and Finance Online; improved Layout and Navigation; chronology; statement of issues; calculators (fully printable); and, precedents.
