The circumstances that matter
Planning should start with the asset position and family circumstances.
Describe the family circumstances and the outcome you seek. Marriage, child, property or income records will be relevant according to the issue. Include existing orders and agreements so further work accounts for matters already resolved.
Planning the next steps
After reviewing the records, we will explain what is established, what is missing and the next document needed. Scope and fees will be agreed. Existing submissions and decisions will be taken into account so further work remains consistent.
Before work begins
What should my first message include?
Describe the event, name the document and mention any relevant date. We will then clarify the task and required records.
When will the fee be agreed?
After clarifying the review, deliverable and any continuing involvement. The fee will be agreed before work starts.
Are photographs of documents enough?
Legible copies of all pages are useful for an initial review. The procedure will determine whether originals or certified copies are needed.
