"Graham was a fantastically supportive, kind and reassuring aid for me whilst I was going through an extremely difficult and stressful court hearing. He is a font of all knowledge and was always on hand to share and guide me through the labyrinth and complexities of the court. I can not recommend him enough and will be forever grateful for his help" Miss Nina Parry, Google

Mckenzie Friend support to present your case

I can attend to support you to present your own case as a litigant in person at in-person hearings at Salisbury Family court for Child arrangement, Non-molestation, Occupation orders hearings and Divorce Finance Hearings (ancillary relief). 

I am a experienced McKenzie Friend of many years experience in the above types of cases.

I frequently help parents increase the time they can spent with their children and to reduce conflict with their ex-partner at court hearings

I achieved long term positive outcomes in my own co-parenting situation after divorcing, both in and away from family court hearings

I have published a book on how family courts work and appeared on BBC Radio about my work. 

I offer:

To help your separated familiy achieve positive co-parenting outcomes

To support you in a way that reduces conflict between the parents

To work towards reducing the conflict or harm that your children are exposed to over time

Pre-court support with paperwork and coaching sessions

Service 

I will help you keep calm before the hearing

I will explain the potential process withou using legal jargon

We will discuss what to focus on when speaking to a judge 

If possible, I will help you negotiate with your ex-partner and their lawyer outside the court room (often a positive way to narrow down the points of disagreement and reach an agreement)

Inside the court room I will take notes

You can ask me questions as the hearing develops.

I can quietly answer and offer you advice to consider repeating out loud to the judge if it align's with you.

After the court hearing, I will explain what happened without legal jargon, what further steps require action from you and hand you hand written notes of the hearing to take away
