Telephone and Email Support

We offer comprehensive telephone, video or email support throughout your family law proceedings at a relatively low cost. This support can be arranged as a small additional fee to a fixed-fee arrangement.

 

During proceedings, situations may arise for which you need well-informed and practical advice in order to respond appropriately. Our McKenzie Friends offer prompt responses that empower you to navigate the situation effectively. We will help you respond in a reasonable and measured manner, which can significantly influence the court’s perception of you in a positive light.

 

Frequently, parties unintentionally present themselves poorly to the court by responding in ways that may seem common sense to those outside the family court system but are deemed unhelpful by those within it. Demonstrating your ability to handle issues in a balanced and measured manner can be immensely valuable.

 

It is common for people to communicate in an unhelpful manner, often through inflammatory lawyer letters, which only widen the gap between the parties. Regardless of how your former partner communicates with you, it is wise to respond in a reasonable yet assertive fashion. Engaging in a war of words, either through lawyers or directly, is unlikely to persuade the court to support your position.

 

Our McKenzie Friends are skilled at providing advice that ensures you do not worsen matters or present yourself poorly to the court. By helping you seem reasonable and measured before the court, we can increase the chances of a positive outcome.
