What forms will I need?

• You will need three copies of the Application Form (FL401) and a copy of the notes for guidance which accompany the application form.

• If you are applying for an 'Occupation order which may involve a change in the occupier of a rented or mortgaged house, you will need another copy of the application form (FL401) for the landlord or mortgage company.

• You will also need a blank Form N285, on which to explain why you need the order and the events that have made you apply to the court.

• If you think you may not have to pay a fee you will need Form EX160 (application for a fee exemption or remission). You must fill in one of these forms for each fee to be paid.

All of these forms are free. You can also get them at any county court with family jurisdiction. Please see the Court Information and Addresses section for a list of these courts.
