What is Form E Income Needs (Section 3.1)?
When going through divorce proceedings in the UK, you're required to complete a Form E — a detailed financial statement used by the court. Section 3.1 asks you to list your income needs: the monthly or annual expenses required to maintain a reasonable standard of living.

Common Expenses to Include:
- Rent or mortgage payments
- Council tax
