Remote Support

How remote support works

You do not need to live near us to get help. Most of the work a McKenzie Friend does happens before the hearing, and it can all be done remotely.

  • A free consultation by phone or video call to understand your situation
  • Help completing court forms, shared securely by email
  • Drafting and checking witness statements and position statements
  • Organising your evidence and court bundle
  • Preparation calls before each hearing
  • Support at remote hearings, with the court’s permission

In-person and remote hearings

Natalka attends hearings in person in the West Midlands. Many family hearings now take place by video or phone, and she can support you at those wherever your court is.

For in-person hearings further away, contact us to discuss whether attendance is possible.

I received invaluable support from McKenzie Friend Support during a very difficult time. Their knowledge and emotional support helped me through a very complex case over the past 18 months in my Child Arrangement Order and Financial Settlement, however, even until the end of the process, they were there every step of the way.

McKenzie Friend Support provided exceptional legal support and advice through my Non-Fault Divorce Application. They assisted with completing and checking my D81 and out-of-court Financial Settlement Agreement

Dan PBGoogle review

I had no idea what to expect when I started the divorce process. However, with the help of McKenzie Friend Support, I was able to navigate through it with their guidance. My case was fairly complicated, involving a business, houses, and a short marriage, but McKenzie Friend Support helped me manage all the forms and the court process, making it as stress-free as possible.
