I provide practical McKenzie Friend and family court support in Chelmsford and nearby Essex areas for people representing themselves.
Support can include preparation for Child Arrangements, Cafcass, Financial Remedy proceedings, court documents and hearings, depending on what stage your case has reached.
In-person meetings and court support can be arranged in Chelmsford, with remote preparation also available where useful.
McKenzie Friend Support in Chelmsford
I support people at different stages of family court proceedings in Chelmsford, from preparing an application or responding to proceedings through to Cafcass involvement and upcoming hearings.
Practical support may involve understanding court directions, organising documents and evidence, preparing statements or position statements, and getting ready for what needs to happen at the next hearing.
Many of the cases I support involve Child Arrangements, including Cafcass and Section 7 involvement. I also provide separate support for Financial Remedy proceedings where finances need to be dealt with following separation or divorce.
A McKenzie Friend does not replace a solicitor or represent you. My role is to help you prepare and present your own case in a clearer and more organised way.
For a fuller explanation of the role, see my McKenzie Friend Guide.
