Supporting Fathers Through Family Court – With Experience, Insight, and Purpose

Navigating the family court system can be isolating, especially for fathers and father figures representing themselves. Whether you’re a dad, grandfather, uncle, or step-father, it often feels like you’re on your own—misunderstood, unsupported, and up against a complex legal system.

Who We Are

About

Founded by a legal and social care professional with a unique blend of experience, our service is built specifically for litigants in person—men going through divorce, separation, or child arrangement proceedings without legal representation.

With an LLB in Law and a specialism in Family Law, alongside a Master’s in Social Work (Psychodynamic approach) and training with CAFCASS, we offer a rare combination of legal knowledge and deep understanding of the social care system. This insider perspective allows us to guide you not only legally, but also emotionally and strategically.

Having also worked as a social worker and trained in safeguarding and family dynamics, we’ve seen firsthand how systems can overlook or under-support fathers. We’re here to bridge that gap—to level the playing field.

Why We Do This

After supporting neighbours and family members through their own court journeys, it became clear: men often struggle in silence. Fathers frequently lack guidance in dealing with social services or building a strong case in court. Our founder recognised this injustice and set out to make a difference.
