Family Law Information Sessions provide practical guidance for parents navigating family court without a solicitor. Each session focuses on common family law topics in plain English, helping you understand the court process before making important decisions.
Sessions cover child arrangements, Cafcass, divorce, financial remedy proceedings and practical preparation for hearings. They are suitable whether you are just starting your case or already involved in proceedings.
All sessions are held online, making them accessible throughout England and Wales.
