Mckenzie Friend

We don't recommend McKenzie friends on here :) Apart from anything else, they charge money and this is all voluntary. Likewise we can't recommend individual lawyers. Someone might PM you with a tip, but if this is for divorce, the cheapest way is supposed to be via mediation. I believe it can be worth paying a lawyer, to get the best financial outcome (ie any money you spend is covered by the better outcome).
 
Thanks Ash, i was hoping to get help from a MK friend for the process and then use direct access barrister for court. Understand what you are saying though. 😊
 
You would be taking a big risk if you use a McKenzie, they are totally unregulated and have very little power to do anything other than take notes in court. If you get a recommendation from somebody you trust, or if you bring an ally you know, it might be worthwhile. But, having used one, I cannot recommend the people that come up on a Google search.
 
Some advice for you, make sure if you use a McKenzie Friend, ask them clearly what their fees are and get it on email or paper, otherwise they will give you a bill at the end potentially running into thousands, I found them costly and completely useless.
