Independent McKenzie Friend support in England & Wales — not a solicitor or barrister

Clear, structured court documents

Family Court Position Statement Support

Practical assistance organising your facts, instructions and proposed position into a clear draft for an upcoming family court hearing.

When booking: please identify position statement support. The free consultation does not purchase or reserve paid work.

Who it is for

Support before an upcoming hearing

This service is for litigants in person who need help presenting their own position clearly and concisely. It may suit you if you understand the points you want to make but need practical help structuring them.

The statement must comply with court directions and procedural requirements, including any page limit. You remain responsible for checking its accuracy and filing and serving it when required.

A clearly defined package for straightforward instructions.

  • Initial discussion of up to 30 minutes
  • Review of up to 20 pages of relevant documents you supply
  • One draft based on your facts, instructions and proposed position
  • One round of amendments
  • Final editable document and PDF for your review and approval

Frequently asked questions

Position statement questions

Will you write the statement from my information?

I can help prepare a draft based on your facts, instructions and proposed position. You must check, approve, file and serve it yourself.

What if I have more than 20 pages?

I will discuss whether the complex package or a separate quotation is appropriate before work begins.

Can you guarantee the court will accept it?

No. Court directions and decisions remain under the court’s control, and no outcome can be guaranteed.

Is urgent work included?

No. Urgent deadlines require an availability check and separate quotation.

Important limits

The Everyday McKenzie Friend is not a regulated solicitors’ firm. I provide practical document-preparation assistance, not reserved legal services. I do not conduct litigation, file or serve documents for you, or take responsibility for your case. Specialist legal advice may be needed in complex or high-risk circumstances.
