As a McKenzie Friend in Norwich, I help parents representing themselves prepare for family court proceedings, organise evidence and present their case with confidence.
I also support parents from nearby areas including Wymondham, Dereham, Attleborough, Aylsham, North Walsham, Diss and Beccles, with remote support available across Norfolk.
How I support parents in Norwich
As a McKenzie Friend, I help parents who are representing themselves prepare for family court in a practical, organised and affordable way.
Support may include:
- Preparing for Child Arrangements Order proceedings
- Reviewing court applications and court orders
- Organising evidence and producing clear timelines
- Preparing witness statements and position statements
- Preparing for Cafcass safeguarding calls where appropriate
- Preparing for hearings and understanding the court process
- Quiet support during hearings, where permitted by the judge
I do not provide reserved legal activities or act as a solicitor. My role is to help you prepare your case clearly so that you can present it with confidence.
Family Court in Norwich
Many private family law cases in Norfolk are heard at:
The Court House
Bishopgate
Norwich
NR3 1UP
Whether you are making your first application or preparing for a final hearing, I can help you understand what the court expects, prepare your paperwork and organise your evidence before the hearing.
Child custody and Child Arrangements Orders
Many parents search online for child custody, although this is no longer the legal term used by the courts in England and Wales.
Today these matters are usually dealt with through a Child Arrangements Order, which can cover:
- where a child lives;
- when they spend time with each parent;
- indirect contact;
- holiday arrangements;
- school holidays;
- special occasions.
If you need help preparing an application or responding to one, I can help you understand the process before your hearing.
Why choose Everyman Justice?
Every family court case is different. Some parents only need help with one document or one hearing, while others want support through several stages of the case.
My role is to help you stay organised, understand what needs to be done and prepare your case clearly. The support is practical, child-focused and tailored to the stage your proceedings have reached.
What parents say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent McKenzie Friend Support in Norwich
“I cannot recommend Gergely highly enough. He supported me throughout my family court case in Norwich, right through to the final hearing, and helped me achieve meaningful time with my daughter. He always knew the best way to approach the case, understood what was important and helped me focus on the points that really mattered. At my lowest points, he reassured me and helped me keep going. His fees are very reasonable for the level of support you receive, and having someone knowledgeable sitting beside you in court makes a huge difference.”
