About Family First Lawyers

Warning Letters

Mckenzie Friend Support

Jewish Divorce (Get)

A warning letter is a formal written notice sent to an individual or organisation, asking them to immediately stop specific behaviour – for example, harassment, threats, controlling behaviour, or refusing access to children – before court action becomes necessary.

This step is often an effective way to make the other party aware of the seriousness of the situation and to give them an opportunity to change their behaviour without the need for legal proceedings.

At Family First Lawyers, we carefully draft clear and professional warning letters tailored to your circumstances. These letters set out the behaviour that must stop, explain the potential consequences of failing to comply, and demonstrate that you are taking proactive legal steps. In many cases, a strong and well‑worded warning letter can resolve matters early, avoiding the stress, cost and time involved in going to court.

Jewish Divorce (Get)

Mckenzie Friend Support

Jewish Divorce (Get)

We provide specialist guidance and support for clients navigating the Jewish Get process following the breakdown of a marriage. Obtaining a Get is a separate step from a civil divorce and can often be sensitive and emotionally challenging.

At Family First Lawyers, we ensure that the correct procedures are followed with dignity and care. Our team offers clear advice throughout and, where needed, can also act as advocates for women during the Get process – ensuring their voices are heard, their rights are protected, and they are supported every step of the way.

Mckenzie Friend Support

Mckenzie Friend Support

Mckenzie Friend Support

At Family First Lawyers, we offer McKenzie Friend support to clients who are representing themselves in family court. A McKenzie Friend can sit with you during hearings, help organise papers, and provide quiet advice and reassurance throughout the process.

Unlike many McKenzie Friends, every advocate at Family First Lawyers holds a law degree and has the knowledge and competence to guide you effectively. This means you receive practical support from someone who understands family law and court procedure, helping you feel prepared and confident on the day.

Why Choose Family Mediation or Negotiation?


Many separating couples and families now choose mediation or negotiation instead of going to court. These options can:

  • Save time and legal costs by avoiding lengthy court proceedings
     
  • Protect your privacy – discussions take place in a private setting
     
  • Reduce conflict and stress for parents and children
     
  • Put you in control of decisions about children, finances and property
     

How We Can Help


Our experienced legal consultants can guide and support you throughout the process:

  • Mediation preparation: We help you prepare for mediation sessions so you can feel confident and informed
     
  • Negotiation with the other party: We liaise directly with your ex-partner or their solicitor to try and reach a practical agreement
     
  • Reviewing proposals: We ensure that any proposals are fair and reflect your legal rights
     
  • Drafting agreements: Once an agreement is reached, we prepare a clear written record to avoid future misunderstandings
     
  • Court-free solutions: Our goal is to help you resolve your issues without the need for a judge to make decisions for you
     

Types of Disputes Suitable for Mediation or Negotiation


These methods can be effective for a wide range of family law issues, including:

  • Child arrangements and parenting plans
     
  • Financial settlements after separation or divorce
     
  • Property and cohabitation disputes
     
  • Reducing hostility between separated parents
