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.

What Customers Say...
I can’t thank you enough for the information and for the live calls. Every time you finished speaking I felt more confident and more in control.
Importantly, I have been able to be strategic, considering all the moving parts and not look like a fool in court.
Had I not read the whole website or had your advice, I probably would feel quite deflated now.
Your support, kindness and reassurance have really helped me through it all, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Thank you for always listening, believing in me and helping me feel heard. Your support has meant more than you’ll probably ever realise.
I am so grateful and happy. I could not have got through this without the support from your membership templates. Thanks for such a brilliant resource, after over 12 years of proceeding this is so precious.

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 Family court guidance and CAFCASS processes change, and we make sure you’re never working from outdated information.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.
