Frequently Asked Questions

What is a McKenzie Friend and what do they do?

A McKenzie Friend is a layperson who can provide guidance, moral as well as practical support to a litigant (individual) representing themselves through family court. A McKenzie Friend cannot speak on behalf of the litigant, advocate or sign court documents. They can however offer emotional support, guide, note take and help prepare all documents for the hearing.

Does the Family Court approve support of a McKenzie Friend?

Absolutely!

The Right To Reasonable Assistance - "Litigants have the right to reasonable assistance from a layperson, sometimes called a McKenzie Friend (MF). Litigants assisted by a MFs remain a litigant-in-person".

How does the cost of using Quay Family Resolutions compare against solicitor/lawyer fees?

On average someone going through family court would expect to pay £10,000-£40,000 for legal advice and representation from a solicitor.

At Quay Family Resolutions our hourly rate is approximately 75% lower than a solicitors and when attending court hearings as support, QFR fees will come in at around 90% more affordable than a barrister - What a massive difference!!!

The overall decision for interim or final orders will be decided by a family court judge regardless of the applicatant or respondent having legal representation.

Why would anyone choose to spend tens of thousand of pounds, potentially getting into a lifetime of harmful debt when they simply need to follow the guidelines required by the family court. The important things are to have emotional support, clarity of what's expected throughout the process and provide the court with all information requested at each stage of the process.

What can I do to get the best advice and support from Quay Family Resolutions?

We ask that our clients are transparent and honest with us at all times, so that we can offer the best advice possible for each case.

In order to assess a clients dispute, guide and help them prepare for family court it is essential to have as much, clear and concise information as possible.
