Questions people ask

What is a McKenzie Friend?

A McKenzie Friend helps a litigant in person, someone going to court without a solicitor or barrister. They can help you organise papers, take notes, and quietly support you in family court in England and Wales.

Can a McKenzie Friend come to court with me?

Usually, yes. You tell the court you would like a McKenzie Friend with you, and the judge decides. A McKenzie Friend can sit beside you, take notes and give quiet support. Speaking for you in court needs the judge's permission.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is McKenzie Friend support and information, not legal advice. For advice on your specific case, speak to a qualified solicitor.

Does the Portal write my statement for me?

No. It helps you draft and organise your own statement, in your own words, in a clear court layout. You check every line and you decide what goes in.
