At McKenzie Matters, we understand the need for financial clarity. While every case is unique and fees are based on the actual work completed, the estimate above is based on the following example of a typical Child Arrangements Order case. Your cost may vary depending on the complexity and level of support required.

What This Usually Covers:

Initial Consultation (1–2 hrs)
Discuss your situation, options, and next steps.

Case Preparation

Drafting an application (or responding to one)

1 x 4-page statement for the first hearing

1 x 8-page statement for the final hearing

Completing court forms, reviewing evidence, and ensuring compliance with court directions

Hearing Support
Attending hearings (usually 2 half-days and 1 full day), providing quiet advice, note-taking, and helping you understand court directions.

Why Choose McKenzie Matters?
