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 "shrouded in mystery" divorce solicitors obscure with their legalese langauge.I 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 achieved positive outcomes in my own divorce finances and C100 child arrangements order hearings. I was successful in achieving occupation order and non molestation order applications against me being dismissed
