Family Court Support for Parents in Bury St Edmunds
Parents from Bury St Edmunds are often required to attend family court hearings outside the town itself, typically at regional courts serving Suffolk and Norfolk. Navigating the family court system without a solicitor can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions are high and the process is unfamiliar.
A McKenzie Friend can help by offering practical guidance, emotional support, and assistance with preparation, helping you stay focused and organised throughout your case.
While most cases I support in Bury St Edmunds involve Child Arrangements Orders, some parents also need early guidance around separation, divorce, or financial arrangements connected to family court proceedings.
