Family Court support when you need help with the next step
If you are representing yourself in the Family Court and need help with court papers, evidence, statements, Cafcass, safeguarding, hearing preparation or understanding what the court expects next, you do not need to have your whole case organised before asking for support.
Start by telling me where your case has reached, whether there is a hearing or deadline, and what you are finding difficult. I can then identify whether JSH Law is the right kind of support and what a sensible next step may be.
Just received court papers?
Start with the document in front of you and the next deadline
If you have just received a C100, C1A, court order, hearing notice, Cafcass document, statement direction or other Family Court paperwork, the first job is not to solve the whole case. It is to understand what the document requires, what the deadline is and what needs to happen next.
Our dedicated starting-point guide explains how to identify the immediate task before you decide whether you need further support.
I’ve Just Received Family Court PapersChoose the easiest way to contact me
Three straightforward ways to get in touch
You do not need to send a full case history or court bundle at the initial enquiry stage. A short explanation of the problem is usually enough to begin.
Best for new enquiries
Book a 15-minute consultation
Choose a convenient time and provide a short outline of the issue you need help with.
This is usually the quickest way to establish whether JSH Law can assist and what kind of support is likely to be useful.
Prefer to write?
Email JSH Law
Send a brief outline of the proceedings, any upcoming hearing or deadline and the particular task you need help with.
Please avoid sending extensive confidential documents unless I have asked for them.
Quick contact
You can send a short WhatsApp message if that is easier than email.
Keep the first message brief and avoid sending large quantities of sensitive evidence until we have agreed what is actually needed.
Urgent safeguarding
Is somebody in immediate danger?
JSH Law is not an emergency service and does not provide a 24-hour monitoring service.
If somebody is in immediate danger or there is an immediate risk of serious harm, call 999.
Do not rely on an email, WhatsApp message, voicemail, website form or consultation request for urgent protective action.
What information is useful
You only need to tell me the essentials at first
A short initial enquiry is usually enough. If documents are required, I can identify what is relevant to the particular task rather than asking you to send everything.
What is the case about?
For example: child arrangements, enforcement, variation, Cafcass, safeguarding, non-molestation proceedings, an appeal or another Family Court issue.
Is there a hearing or deadline?
If something is time-sensitive, include the date immediately so I can assess whether there is sufficient time and capacity to assist.
What do you need help with?
This might be evidence organisation, a chronology, position statement, witness statement, Cafcass material, hearing preparation, document review or understanding the next procedural step.
Protect your information
Please do not send your entire court file at first contact
Family Court cases can contain highly sensitive information about children, health, domestic abuse, schools, police, Cafcass, social services and other professionals.
You usually do not need to send all of that material simply to establish whether JSH Law can help.
Once I understand the issue, I can identify which orders, statements, reports or other documents are genuinely relevant and the appropriate way for you to provide them.
A clear first step
Book a 15-minute consultation
Use the consultation to explain what proceedings are ongoing, where your case has reached, what is coming next and what you need help with. I can then identify whether JSH Law can assist and what the appropriate next step may be.
Start here
Tell me what needs attention now
You may be responding to an application, preparing for a hearing, dealing with Cafcass, trying to organise evidence or simply struggling to understand what the court expects next.
You do not need to instruct JSH Law for your entire case. Support can be focused on a defined task or stage of proceedings.
Please note: JSH Law provides non-reserved legal services, litigation support and McKenzie Friend assistance. JSH Law Ltd is not an SRA-authorised solicitors’ firm, does not act as solicitor on the record and does not conduct litigation or provide regulated solicitor representation on your behalf. Please do not send extensive evidence or documents before your appointment unless asked to do so.
Choose a convenient time
Give me a short outline of the issue when you make the booking.
Your enquiry will be handled in accordance with the JSH Law Privacy Policy .
What happens next?
What happens after you contact JSH Law
I identify the immediate issue
I will establish what proceedings are ongoing, what stage the case has reached, what deadline or hearing is approaching and what support you are looking for.
We define the task
If JSH Law can assist, I will explain what work is proposed, the likely scope, what documents are required and the applicable charge before substantial paid work begins.
You send what is actually relevant
Rather than sending your entire file, you may be asked for particular orders, applications, statements, reports or evidence relevant to the agreed task.
Clear boundaries
Contacting JSH Law does not itself create a client relationship
JSH Law Ltd provides non-reserved legal services, litigation support and McKenzie Friend assistance.
JSH Law Ltd is not an SRA-authorised solicitors’ firm, does not act as solicitor on the record and does not conduct litigation or provide regulated solicitor representation on your behalf.
Sending an email, WhatsApp message, consultation request or document does not by itself mean that JSH Law has accepted responsibility for your matter, a hearing, filing requirement or court deadline.
Paid work begins once JSH Law has expressly agreed the instruction, scope and applicable onboarding or payment requirements.
