I love helping separating Mothers and Fathers as an alternative to family lawyers. I am very experienced in helping who are interested in presenting their own case as litigants in person (instead of using lawyers) in c100 child arrangements orders,non molestation orders, occupation orders and divorce finances hearings in family courts. I am a high quality, trusted alternative to a divorce lawyer with over 150 5 star reviews

I can help you resolve disputes effectively without needing to use a family law solicitor. I'm passionate about mentoring litigants in person to present their own case in family courts in cases that involve domestic abuse allegations, false allegations, child custody disagreements and divorce finance settlement negotaitions. 

I will help you understand the process often  "shrouded in mystery" by divorce lawyers by using easy to understand jargon free langauage. I'll provide the emotional support you need to feel confident to go through this process yourself and in doing so save you £1000's when compared to the bills you would get from the average divorce lawyer

I am a qualified mentor with over 5 years experience working in family courts as a professional McKenzie Friend

 I am not legally trained (like a divorce lawyer) but I have more 5 star reviews than them which I believe evidences I have a good insight into the process of helping litigants in person achieve positive outcomes - I offer a professional McKenzie Friend service -  have a proven track record of insightful, solution focused advice without using the legal jargon of divorce lawyers.

Give Cafcass the right information about your children

Following a divorce or separation nothing pulls on the heartstrings more than your children being prevented from having a relationship with you and having to go to family court to get a C100 child arrangements order

A C100 child arrangments order would support your children and you to ensure your relationship grows and develops

In my work as a professional Mckenzie friend I’m always solution focused in the family court advice I provide, looking for opportunities to improve parental relationships and resolve child arrangments and divorce finance disputes.

I provide an alternative service to that of a family law solicitor in how I work. Many of the litigants in person I have helped over the years feel divorce lawyers seek to amplify and extend conflict. As a professional McKenzie Friend I help parents work towards a future where they can co-parent together 

If you're facing divorce or separation agreeing on how the family assets are split can cause high conflict and high legal bills with divorce solicitors. An "expensive postbox" is how one of my clients described his previous divorce lawyer's fees

I can help you step forward into the future with an equal, fair financial footing. I can help you negotiate an outcome reflective of all the contributions within the relationship.My McKenzie friend service helps you achieve positive family court outcomes without paying high divorce lawyer fees

With my insightful, professional Mckenzie friend support you can confidently negotiate with divocrce solicitors, present your case to a judge and increase the likelyhood of achieving a fair divorce outcome

Cafcass family court advisors are the social workers who will assess and provide advice on your children and domestic abuse allegations made in family courts

You need to impress Cafcass so as to influence them to write a positive assessment of the future child arrangements you seek for your children in family court hearings
