Family Law Services

At AD McKenzie Friend, our family law services are designed to guide you through the complexities of family court processes. Whether you are facing child custody issues, divorce, non-molestation orders or the formulation of child arrangements, we are here to ensure you are well-informed every step of the way. We will help you navigate the role of Cafcass, assist with necessary documentation, and prepare you for hearings, all while prioritising the best interests of your children. Your family's wellbeing is at the heart of what we do, and we aim to resolve conflicts amicably and efficiently.

Employment Law Services

In addition to family law, we also provide expert advocacy on employment law matters. Navigating workplace disputes, unfair dismissal claims, or discrimination cases can be overwhelming. We offer a pragmatic approach, ensuring you understand your rights and options. Our aim is to help you achieve a fair resolution, whether through negotiation or formal proceedings. We are committed to supporting you in protecting your rights as an employee while fostering positive outcomes in the workplace.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes can arise in various areas of life, and finding an amicable resolution is essential. Our dispute resolution service focus on facilitating communication and negotiation between parties to settle conflicts without resorting to lengthy court proceedings. We employ mediation techniques to help you reach mutually beneficial agreements, creating a more peaceful environment for family discussions. This approach not only saves you time and money but also helps preserve relationships during challenging times.

Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions, so you can navigate your legal challenges with confidence. Every consultation is aimed at understanding your unique situation and providing practical solutions.

Navigating the court system can be challenging. We offer dedicated support services for individuals representing themselves (Litigants in Person) in legal matters, focusing on family law and employment law dispute resolution procedures.

Our services are strictly limited to the role of a McKenzie Friend, which includes:

• Organization: Helping you prepare your documents, structure your case file, and manage deadlines.

• Note-Taking: Taking clear, concise notes during court hearings.

• Procedural Assistance: Quietly offering general advice on court practice and procedure during the hearing.
