Introducing the Family Court Navigator Membership
The Family Court Navigator Membership is a one-of-a-kind, all-in-one resource for parents navigating the family court system. This is literally the only membership of its kind. It was created by a child protection professional with over 12 years of experience in family courts – someone who has written the very reports (like Section 7 and Section 37 assessments) that your case might be decided on.

With over 12 years’ experience working in the family courts, Elise brings a rare blend of insider knowledge and practical, real-world expertise that can truly change the outcome for parents.
She began by offering one-to-one advice and guidance, quickly becoming so in demand that she reached the point of needing to introduce a waiting list. Knowing she needed to reach and support more parents, Elise created The Family Court Navigator Membership.

What Customers Say...
The templates and examples were a lifesaver. This membership is worth every penny for the peace of mind it brought me. I went from overwhelmed to quietly confident, and it made a huge difference in court, I can't say enough how much this helped me on my journey, family court is a scary place and just knowing what to expect really helped me feel much more confident in what I was doing.
Facing my ex in court was the most daunting experience of my life and incredibly scary. But with the Navigator resources, I felt like I had an expert holding my hand. I walked into court prepared and confident – and it absolutely showed. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the tools and courage to stand strong in what would otherwise have been a very traumatic process. Thank you!
Absolutely game-changing! Before, I was losing sleep every night, terrified of what might happen. After using the Navigator step-by-step guides and getting my questions answered, I felt in control for the first time. The result: I presented my case clearly, stayed calm under pressure, and secured the contact arrangement I wanted. I only wish I had joined sooner

I have a lawyer, could this still help me?
Absolutely! Think of the Family Court Navigator as the perfect complement to your solicitor. Your lawyer handles the legal strategy and court submissions; we help you with everything else – preparing your personal statement, dealing with CAFCASS and social workers, organising evidence, and understanding the process. Many of our members use the membership alongside their solicitor’s services. It makes you a more informed client and ensures no aspect of your case is overlooked. Many members don't have a lawyer and save THOUSANDS by using our resources to self represent.
My case is complex will this help?
Family cases can be complex, but the fundamentals of how to navigate them are consistent. Our materials cover a wide range of scenarios – from typical parenting arrangements disputes to cases with allegations of abuse, enforcement issues, etc. You will learn principles and strategies that apply across the board, and we provide examples for different situations (like how to handle false allegations, or what to do if social services get involved). Plus, with our Q&A sessions, you can get specific advice tailored to your situation.
Will the content be kept up to date?
Yes. Family court guidance and CAFCASS processes change, and we make sure you’re never working from outdated information. Members get updated resources whenever there’s a change in procedures, forms, or best practice.
