Your application
Applying to see your children or to set arrangements? We help you fill in the C100 correctly so it isn't sent back.
What we do
The paperwork that wins or loses cases
Judges see hundreds of cases. A clear, well-prepared case gets heard properly. We help you put yours together the right way.
Responding to an application
If the other parent has applied, we help you respond properly and on time.
Mediation check
Most applications need a mediation meeting first. We check where you stand before you apply.
Position statement
A short, clear document telling the court what you want for your children and why.
Chronology
The key events in date order, so the judge can follow your case at a glance.
Court bundle & hearings
Your documents indexed and in order, plus what to expect at each hearing.

FAQs
Straight answers
Are you solicitors?
No. We're an advice and preparation service. We help you get your paperwork right, but we don't come to court with you or speak for you. You stay in control of your case and file everything yourself.
Can you guarantee the outcome?
No one can, not even a top solicitor. What we can do is make sure the judge gets a clear, well-prepared case from you.
Can I get legal aid instead?
Legal aid for family cases like these is very limited, and is mainly available where there's evidence of domestic abuse or child abuse. You can check if you qualify on the GOV.UK website by searching "check if you can get legal aid".
Do you contact the other parent or the court?
No. We never contact the other parent, and we don't send anything to the court. Everything comes to you, and you decide what to do with it.
What happens to my documents?
You upload them through a secure link. Once your finished pack has been sent back to you, we delete your case files. Keep your own copy of everything.
What if I need to stop?
That's fine. You only pay for each stage as we work on it. Stop paying and the work stops, with nothing more to pay.
