Time and money

On your own
A day or more
With Wren
About an hour for most forms
Solicitor for this form
£740 to £1,2403 to 5 hours

A solicitor’s time for the D11 can run to £1,240. With Wren it is part of £19.99 a month, and it takes about an hour for most forms rather than a day or more.

Times and hours are Wren’s estimates for a typical case, not quotes. Solicitor costs are those hours at £247 an hour, the courts’ guideline rate for a solicitor with over four years’ experience, outside London (GOV.UK, Solicitors' guideline hourly rates (in effect from 1 January 2026)). The guideline runs from £200 to £295 an hour outside London depending on experience, firms set their own rates, and VAT is added on top.

Who uses the D11

A party who needs an order during a case. Examples are maintenance pending suit, a legal services payment order, setting aside a financial order or participation directions.

When it is used

At any stage of the proceedings, and in some cases after a final order. It is the Part 18 procedure form for financial remedy cases.

Before you start

  • A clear description of the order you want and why.
  • A draft of the order.
  • Any witness statement or evidence you will rely on.
  • Names and addresses of everyone to be served, or Form C8 for any details that must stay private.
  • The fee, or a Help with Fees reference.

How to fill in the D11

Open each part for what it asks and how to answer it. In Wren, each part is a few plain questions, and your answers fill in the form.

Questions 1 and 2: who you are

Your name and your role in the case.

Question 3: the order and why

Set out the order you want and the reasons, and attach a draft. The draft should state any costs you ask for.

Questions 4 to 9: the hearing

Whether the judge can deal with it on paper, whether a phone hearing is suitable, how long it may take, and fixed dates.

Questions 10 and 11: service and evidence

Who should be served and what you rely on, such as a statement or evidence written on the form.

Statement of truth

Needed if you want the contents of the form used as evidence.

Address and fee pages

A new address for service only if it has changed. Then how you will pay, or your Help with Fees details. If you are in danger, call 999.

Free for 14 days, no card. Then £19.99 a month, with your money back within 14 days if it’s not right.

What happens after you send it

A judge may decide the application on paper without a hearing. The form says anyone who objects can apply within 7 days for a hearing. Otherwise the court lists a hearing and the notice is served on the other party.

Common mistakes

  • Not attaching a draft order.
  • Serving too late. Interim maintenance applications need at least 14 days' notice.
  • Writing a private address on the form instead of using Form C8.
