Why Choose Everyman Justice?
You may need help with one part of your case rather than somebody taking over everything.
My approach is practical and flexible. Support can be focused on the particular stage where you need it — whether that is preparing for Cafcass, understanding an order, organising documents, dealing with financial disclosure or getting ready for court.
You remain directly involved in your own case while having practical support available when it is useful.
If you want to understand more about McKenzie Friends and the different types of family court support available, explore the McKenzie Friend Guide.

In-person support is available across Lowestoft, East Suffolk and communities close to the Suffolk–Norfolk border, including court hearing support by arrangement. Consultations, document preparation and ongoing support can also be provided by telephone, email or video call.

Free Family Law Information Sessions
Not everyone is ready for individual support.
Everyman Justice also runs free online Family Law Information Sessions covering different family court and separation topics in short 30-minute sessions.
Topics may include divorce, Child Arrangements, Cafcass, financial matters and preparing for Family Court.
Family Court Hearings for People in Lowestoft
Lowestoft no longer has its former Magistrates’, County Court and Family Court. When the court closed, its work was redistributed to other court centres including Great Yarmouth, Ipswich and Norwich.
This does not mean that every Lowestoft case will be heard at the same venue.
Always use the court named on your Notice of Hearing or latest court order.
You can check a venue through the official HMCTS Find a Court or Tribunal service.
One nearby venue handling family matters is Great Yarmouth Magistrates’ Court and Family Court.
If you contact me about hearing support, please include the court, hearing date, hearing type and expected length where known.
