What we do
Practical help, every step of the way.
From your online answers to prepared papers, we help you understand your next step.
Protecting your address
We prepare form C8 if your address must be kept secret.
Checking legal aid
We check whether you might qualify for legal aid, so a solicitor could act for you at no cost.
Clear next steps
We give you clear, step-by-step guidance on signing your papers and sending them to your local Family Court.
What we don't do
We prepare. You sign and submit.
We are not a firm of solicitors and we don't represent you in court. We do not submit your application to the court. You sign and send it yourself, so you stay in control of your case.
Information on this site is general information about the law in England and Wales, not legal advice about your situation.
