Navigating Court Without a Solicitor

Many parents believe that if you need to go to court to formalise living arrangements or contact with your children, you must hire a solicitor. You don’t.

An alternative is to represent yourself, often called a Litigant in Person, Self-Represented Person, or Unrepresented Litigant. However, this can feel daunting, even for the most capable people.

That is where The Custody Coach comes in.

What We Do

We are a Professional McKenzie Friend service, not solicitors, supporting parents through the family court process after separation or divorce.

From start to finish, we stand beside you:

• Guiding you through applications, statements, and court paperwork

• Preparing you for CAFCASS or report interviews

• Helping you understand procedures, reports, and terminology

• Supporting you at every hearing, all the way to your final order

And we do it at a fraction of the cost of traditional legal representation.

Transparent Fees

We offer clear, fixed-fee plans so you can plan ahead with confidence. After each hearing we review and re-quote if needed, no large upfront payments, no hidden surprises. At every step, we coach you on what the court expects, how to work with third-party professionals, and how to present your case effectively. You will stay informed, involved, and supported throughout this often overwhelming journey.

With The Custody Coach, you are never alone in court.
