A McKenzie Friend can provide practical legal support to someone representing themselves, including help with paperwork, preparation and support during Family Court proceedings.
If you are being prevented from seeing your child, the first step will depend on your individual circumstances and whether there are any court orders already in place. In some cases, an agreement can be reached; in others, an application to the Family Court may be necessary, known as a Child Arrangements Order. We can talk through your situation and help you understand what steps may be available to you.
