Turn The Question Into A Useful Enquiry

The answer depends on the documents, urgency, procedural stage and what work you need. Use the checklist to make a quote request easier to assess.

  • State the court, hearing date and whether the matter is urgent.
  • Send existing orders, C100 or other applications, statements, Cafcass letters and safeguarding information if available.
  • Explain what order or practical arrangements you want the court to consider.
  • Flag domestic abuse, relocation, enforcement or serious safeguarding issues clearly because solicitor support may also be needed.
