Comprehensive Support at Each and Every Step
Every step of the process in and outside the court is relevant. From daily communication with other parties, preparation for interviews with Cafcass and local authorities to assistance with application filings, drafting statements, letters, attending court, and pre-hearing coaching, I offer a comprehensive suite of supportive services at each step of the legal process.
Expertise
I specialise in orders under section 8 of the Children Act 1989 with allegations of domestic abuse, including Child Arrangements Orders, Specific Issue Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders, but also Non-Molestation Orders, Occupation Orders and Enforcement Orders. I am highly adept at handling cases involving parental alienation, those with international elements and Hague Convention cases- abduction.
My expertise extends to all types of courts, from Magistrates to High Court level, covering the whole array of hearings, including fact-finding and final hearings.
Adherence to Legal Standards
Rest assured that I operate within the framework of legal standards and guidelines. I am well-versed in the Practice Guidance: “McKenzie Friends (Civil and Family Courts)” by the Ex President of the Family Division, Sir Nicholas Wall, dated July 12, 2010. I strictly adhere to rules concerning confidentiality and will never publicise details of a case that may identify the child or any party unless expressly permitted by court order.
