You do not need to wait until a Fact Finding Hearing has been listed. Getting organised from the beginning will help you to understand what needs to be done.
Family court proceedings can be difficult to navigate, particularly when you are dealing with serious allegations and trying to understand unfamiliar legal procedures.
My approach is practical and structured.
Rather than simply giving you information about family law, I want to help you understand how it applies to your circumstances and what you need to do next.
I can help you:
Absolutely, yes, however it is not automatically required in every case.
The Court has to first decide if the allegations will affect seeing the children or the safety of the other party. If they don't, the Court will not worry about the allegations and they will not be dealt with. They will not be held against you.
If the allegations may impact on the children or other party if not examined, a Fact-Finding hearing will be used to determine any disputed factual allegations in order to make a decision that they happened, or did not happen.
A Scott Schedule is a structured document using a table which is used to set out allegations, responses and the issues the court needs to determine.
Whether one is required depends on the court's directions and the case.
Yes, your Statement is a key document which I will assist you to put together and I will work with you to ensure that it gives the best account possible for you.
I will help you understand the purpose and structure of a statement, organise your account and identify relevant evidence.
The final statement must accurately reflect your own views.
Generally yes, I feel that a Fact-Finding Hearing is one of those situations in which it is better to have help in Court, although the decision is always yours to make.
During the Hearing I will be sat next to you and we will discuss the case as it evolves. The majority of things that you need the Judge to know will have been pre-prepared and agreed with yourself. I will not usually be able to speak on your behalf.
We can discuss what support may be available for your particular hearing.
Testimonials
“Mr Walland is always welcome in my Court. He is very experienced and talented.”
“Simon Walland saved my life! I had nowhere to go, no representation, no way of affording representation, and at times little to no income.”
“I am extremely impressed with your training. I have done various paralegal courses, but your course is by far the best I’ve attended!”
“Simon prepared all of my court documents to an exceptionally high standard, attended every hearing with me, and provided invaluable guidance and reassurance during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time.”
“From the moment I started working with him, I found him to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and, importantly, genuinely focused on helping me rather than simply making money.”
“Looking back over the last four years, finding Simon was one of the best decisions I made during an incredibly difficult period of my life.”
After representing myself through my own case, I spent over twenty-five years in the Family Courts helping parents and grandparents with child arrangements, financial disputes, and false allegations. I qualified as a Barrister in 2010.
I'm not here to scare you into hiring me. I'm here to help you navigate a difficult process — honestly, professionally, and at a fair price when you need more than free advice.
The process is simpler than solicitors make it look. People still pay substantial fees when clear guidance would do — I'm trying to be the person you go to for direction, not pressure.
