Based in Buckinghamshire — supporting clients nationwide

Family Court Support Across the UK

At The Everyday McKenzie Friend, I provide practical and affordable support to people representing themselves in family court proceedings.

Although I'm based in Buckinghamshire, my services are not limited to the local area. I assist clients throughout the UK with family court paperwork, application preparation, position statements and hearing preparation.

I can also attend court hearings across the UK, subject to availability, the applicable local court rules and the arrangements agreed during your consultation.

Whether you're based in Buckinghamshire, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff or further afield, you're welcome to get in touch.

Nationwide family court paperwork support

Help With Family Court Paperwork Wherever You Live

You don't need to live nearby to receive practical assistance with family court paperwork.

Much of the preparation work can be completed remotely through telephone or video discussions and appropriate secure document-sharing arrangements.

My services include:

  • C100 application preparation
  • Family court position statement preparation
  • Assistance organising court papers
  • Preparing factual chronologies
  • Hearing preparation
  • Support with understanding and organising relevant court documentation
  • Practical assistance with other family court paperwork within the scope of McKenzie Friend support

Whether your case is at an early stage or you already have a hearing date, we can discuss what support may be suitable.

Nationwide court hearing attendance

McKenzie Friend Support at Court — Throughout the UK

If you have an upcoming family court hearing, I can discuss attending with you as a McKenzie Friend, wherever your hearing is taking place in the UK.

I am based in Buckinghamshire but can travel nationally for suitable hearings.

McKenzie Friend attendance may include:

  • Preparation before the hearing
  • Assistance organising your paperwork
  • Moral support during proceedings
  • Quiet assistance during the hearing, where permitted
  • Taking notes
  • Helping you keep track of the issues being discussed

Attendance is subject to the court's control, applicable rules and any directions made in the particular proceedings. A McKenzie Friend does not automatically have the right to address the court, question witnesses or conduct litigation on a client's behalf. Clients remain responsible for presenting and conducting their own case.

Different rules apply across the UK. For hearings outside England and Wales, availability and the nature of any assistance depend on the applicable local court rules and whether attendance is permitted. The England and Wales McKenzie Friend guidance should not be assumed to apply identically in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Clear Fees — Wherever You Are

I understand that the cost of family court proceedings can be a concern.

That's why I offer a free initial 30-minute consultation to discuss your circumstances and the assistance you need. Following that discussion, I can provide a fixed-price quotation for the agreed scope of work.

For court attendance, the quotation can take account of:

  • Hearing location
  • Expected hearing duration
  • Preparation required
  • Travel arrangements
  • Any additional agreed expenses

The quotation will explain what is included so you can decide whether to proceed. There is no obligation to purchase a service after your free consultation.
