The views and opinions of Philip
Kedge are entirely
his own.

| |
| 'If family
lawyers harmed their own children, in the way that they
harm the children of |
| other's, then they would be
on Child Protection Plans.' |
| |
| 'As a retired
Police Chief Inspector, I have seen more integrity in
criminals than many family lawyers.' |
| |

principles |
| |
| Of Clients |
| |
| 1. |
|
To be open minded as to
how Cafcass and the Courts view disputes, |
| |
|
not from the narrative
of the parents, but the narrative of the child. |
| 2. |
|
To seek to build a
positive co-parenting relationship around any
appropriate contact. |
| 3. |
|
To understand and reduce
the behaviours and conflict that will harm your
children. |
| 4. |
|
To work with, and not
against, appropriate safeguarding measures
recommended |
| |
|
by professionals. |
|
| |
| Of Lawyers |
| |
| 5. |
|
People need information
and guidance rather than 'legal advice' in the
family court. |
| 6. |
|
There is no 'advantage'
to having a lawyer. |
| 7. |
|
There is a concern that
all too often, lawyers increase parental conflict
that harms children, |
| |
|
and cause people
crippling financial debt with legal fees. |
|
| |
| Of McKenzie Friends |
| |
| 8. |
|
McKenzie Friends,
whether 'lay persons' or 'professional', should
charge affordable fees, operate |
| |
|
under Terms and
Conditions and have insurance if they claim to be
'professional legal entities'. |
| 9. |
|
Should not give 'legal
advice', but offer support and guidance as an
'informed friend' |
| 10. |
|
Will help clients see
disputes from the eyes of the child and support
them |
| |
|
to adopt a reasonable,
balanced and proportionate position as early as
possible. |
