I personally found it easier to download the forms to my pc, print them off & then fill them in before typing up the final copy & printing that off. If you do them online, you risk losing data you've tried to save (some members have had that happen & have had to do it all over again from scratch), plus you've still got to print them off to take at least 2 copies to court with you. It should be borne in mind that not every court accepts online versions anyway.

I did it online but made sure I saved each and every section as I did it, every change I made and any time I moved away from a section.

I did not and was not asked to provide more than 1 copy. It was photocopied at the court.

I didn't know that about not every court accepting online versions, that's definitely worth checking out before making your choice though.

I did mine on-line too, and like Bakey I saved continuously as I went along. I made loads of errors so I appreciated the fact that I could go back to any section and make the alterations without it looking a mess.

It can be a long job so don't leave it too long will you!

I did the same...everything online was a lot easier than trying to write by hand, take your time (but as dither suggests not too long...all in all I took over a week to sort mine) & remember to save often as others suggest (I lost a fair bit of info sometimes due to the forms crashing), online was better for me could ammend any errors quickly & to be honest the forms the court sent me through the post had been photocopied badly & you couldnt read some of the stuff easily!
