Financial Clean Break

Hi,

I'm after a bit of advice, sorry if I've posted in the wrong place.

I've recently went through a divorce and today received a Financial Clean Break Consent Application from my Ex Husband's solicitor. This all seems fine and I'm happy to sign however I've also received a second form entitled 'Statement of Information for a Consent Order'. In this it asks all sorts of personal questions, the two I really don't want him knowing are, my address and living arrangements and my income. Does anybody know if I can leave these blank but still sign the form and attach a letter advising of my reasons why?

Thanks in advance.

    My ex and I did a clean break. I don't remember signing a Statement of Information for a Consent Order. If you are doing clean break, I wouldn't have thought it was necessary. However, I'm not a family law expert.

    The only reason I can think of you needing to disclose your income is so the judge is content that the Financial Consent Order is a "fair" distribution of the marital assets.
