Are you dealing with harassment, intimidation or abuse from a former partner?

You might be putting on a brave face for everyone else, but behind closed doors you may be worried about what happens next.

Perhaps you’re receiving unwanted messages, feeling threatened, or worried about who has access to your home.

You may be considering whether a Non-Molestation Order or Occupation Order is appropriate for your circumstances.

These orders serve different purposes:

* A Non-Molestation Order can protect you or a child from abuse or harassment.
* An Occupation Order can ask the court to decide who can live in, or return to, the family home.

You can apply for one or both, depending on your circumstances. Applications are made using Form FL401, with a supporting witness statement, and there is no court fee to apply.

Knowing what to put in your application, how to organise your evidence and what to expect at court can make the process feel more manageable.

We provide practical support to help you understand the process, prepare your paperwork and get ready for your hearing.

You don’t have to know all the answers before asking for help.

If you’re unsure what your options are, get in touch for a confidential discussion about the practical support we can offer.

FINANCIALS??????

Are you getting your financial paperwork right?

Financial proceedings can be confusing enough without worrying whether you’ve completed everything correctly.

If you’re going through a divorce and dealing with finances, you’ll probably already know that there can be a lot to get your head around.

The house, mortgage, pensions, savings, investments, debts and income all need consideration.

Then comes the paperwork.

Form E, financial disclosure, ES1 and ES2, offers and preparation for hearings can feel overwhelming, particularly if you’re representing yourself.

There have also been important procedural updates this year. The 2026 Financial Remedies Guide was issued in March, and revised court bundle requirements came into force on 2 March 2026. Getting organised and checking the requirements that apply to your case is important.

We can help you understand the process and prepare for the next stage, including:

* Form E preparation and review
* ES1 and ES2
* Financial disclosure
* Settlement offers and negotiations
* FDA and FDR preparation
* Final hearing preparation

You don’t necessarily need to navigate every step without support just because you’re representing yourself.

If you’re dealing with financial proceedings and don’t know where to start, let’s have a chat.

CHILD ARRANGEMENTS

When contact breaks down…

Have you been stopped from seeing your child? Do you know what to do next?

When a relationship breaks down, arrangements for the children can quickly become difficult. Communication stops, disagreements escalate, and sometimes one parent is left wondering when they will see their child again.

The Family Court process is also continuing to evolve. Updates to the Pathfinder pilot, part of the Child Focused Courts approach, came into force on 26 June 2026, including changes to case management and Child Impact Reports in participating areas.

But what does this mean for you if you’re currently struggling with child arrangements?

You might be wondering whether you need to make a C100 application, what evidence you should be gathering, or what happens if there is already a Child Arrangements Order in place.

These are exactly the sorts of questions we can help you work through.

At McKenzie Friend Support Ltd, we provide practical support with court paperwork, statements, evidence and preparation for hearings.

You don’t have to try and work everything out on your own.

It’s certainly something when your client obtains a brilliant and unexpected result in court but not only that, the other sides solicitor and judge commented on the fact she and he had come across a lot of McKenzie Friends and was impressed with me and my professionalism! Love what we do and how we can help people.

THEIR SOLICITOR IS BULLYING ME AND GIVING ME DEMANDS… WHAT DO I DO?

First things first — DON’T BE INTIMIDATED.

We hear this all the time.

Whether it’s child arrangements, financial proceedings, a Non-Molestation Order, an Occupation Order or another Family Court matter, receiving a solicitor’s letter full of demands and deadlines can be incredibly overwhelming.

But remember…

A solicitor’s letter is NOT a court order.

And just because a solicitor has put a deadline in a letter, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a deadline imposed by the court.

The deadlines you really need to pay attention to are the ones set by the court in a court order or directions.

So don’t panic.
Don’t feel pressured into agreeing to something you don’t understand.
And don’t be frightened into thinking you have no options.

We can help you understand what they are asking for, help you prepare your response, manage the correspondence and, where appropriate, put things back in their box.

You don’t have to be intimidated just because the other side has a solicitor.

Need help dealing with the other side?

Financials in Divorce! Is your Open Offer actually a good one?

An Open Offer in financial proceedings isn’t simply:

❌ “I want 60% of the house.”

A good offer should tell the other side — and ultimately the court — exactly what you are proposing and why.

Think about:

✔️ Who keeps the family home?
✔️ What happens to the mortgage?
✔️ What lump sum is being paid?
✔️ How are savings, pensions, vehicles and debts dealt with?
✔️ What happens and when?
✔️ Most importantly — why is your proposal fair?

A strong Open Offer is clear, realistic, backed by the figures and capable of being turned into a Consent Order.

And don’t make it emotional.

Make it logical. Make it precise. Make it difficult to misunderstand.

If you’re a Litigant in Person and don’t know where to start, we can help you prepare and understand your financial position.
