'Separated' statutory declaration template/wording

Hi, there. Could someone please provide or link me to a template for statutory declaration of marital status as 'separated'? I know that for statutory declarations for single marital status go along the lines of 'I declare that I am not bound by the ties of marriage and that I am not a ward of court in this or in any other jurisdiction' etc. But what do you write in the place of that for 'separated' marital status? Many thanks!

    Ok, I finished the wording. But I still need a bit of help! Basically, the declaration is for student finance. Do we need to enter the (current) address of the spouse with whom my mother has separated? Applying for student finance is such a nightmare! :(

    Ok, solved that too! Just one more question: for statutory declaration do you have to just sign it in front of a solicitor, or do you as well have to formally swear in front of the solicitor?
  • Hi

    I was just wondering if you would be able to forward me a link to a statutory declaration as I need one for my student finance application as well?

    Thank you
  • Hi was wondering if you could post the link for the declaration of marital status as 'separated' for me as well? Thanks
  • Hi, was just wondering if someone could forward the declaration of separation to me as well? Student finance is a nightmare and they won't accept anything else as proof apparently

    When I telephoned student finance about this, they suggested that the sponsoring parent could prove they live alone by sending a Council Tax bill showing the single occupier discount
  • Hi, I was also wondering if you could post the link for the declaration of marital status as 'separated' for me as well? Thanks

    please can i get a template of the wording? I am in the same exact position and I am really struggling to find something on the internet, which applies to people from Britain.

    I would reallly appreciate that. Thank you
  • I drafted this and got it sworn at my local solicitor for £5 in order to satisfy Student Finance and proof that I was separated for my son's application. Please feel free to use!
