Divorce Navigator & McKenzie Friend

Description

Compassionate, court‑savvy McKenzie Friend for divorce & family cases

I support litigants‑in‑person through UK family court—from first steps and mediation to FDA, FDR and beyond. My approach is calm, practical and cost‑aware: I help you understand the process, prepare strong documents, and stay confident in hearings while keeping legal spend under control.


I work under the 2010 ‘McKenzie Friends (Civil and Family Courts)’ guidance and prioritise confidentiality and clear boundaries.
I structure the work so you only pay for expertise you need, and I coach you to self‑complete where appropriate.
Responsive updates and clear next steps, even around busy hearing schedules.
Focused help to improve ES1/ES2, questionnaires/deficiencies, chronologies, and bundles so judges get the right picture, first time.
Clear policies and discipline with client information, including third‑party tools.
