About A Father Stands

I created A Father Stands because I was sick of watching fathers get ripped off.

Hundreds of pounds for a single position statement. Hundreds more for a letter that could have been written in an afternoon. Services that charge you £100 an hour to listen to you talk, then another £200 to write something that doesn't even sound like it came from a father who loves his children.

Some of these services are run by qualified people. Some aren't. But the price tag doesn't always match what you actually get — and I've seen too many dads walk away with a lighter wallet and documents that didn't help their case one bit.

I'm not here to compete with solicitors. I'm not here to replace McKenzie Friends. I don't offer legal advice, I don't represent you in court, and I won't pretend to be something I'm not.

What I am is a father who has spent six years inside the family court system.

Six years of hearings, statements, applications, evidence bundles, CAFCASS reports, and every kind of document the court can ask for. I've written them all for my own cases. I know what judges want to read. I know what makes them stop reading. I know the difference between a statement that works and one that gets you nowhere.

That's what I bring to the table — not a law degree, but real experience of what actually lands in a courtroom.

I built this service to do one thing well: take the most stressful part off your plate. The documents. The statements. The letters. The part where you're sat at your kitchen table at midnight trying to put six months of hell into words that a stranger in a courtroom will understand — while reliving every painful second of it.

You shouldn't have to do that alone. And you definitely shouldn't have to pay hundreds for someone else to do it badly.

I charge £35 to £129 depending on what you need. That's it. No hourly billing. No hidden extras. No being drip-fed invoices every time you send an email. You know the price before you start, and you get exactly what was agreed.

Every document I write is child-focused. Courts don't want to read about what the other parent did to you. They want to know that your children are safe, loved, and that you're the kind of parent who puts them first. That's what I write. That's what judges respect.

I won't save you from the system. I can't promise you'll win. But I can take away one of the heaviest parts of the process and give you documents that are clear, professional, and written by someone who genuinely understands what you're going through — because I've been through every second of it myself.

If you want to see the quality before you spend a penny, just ask. I'll show you real documents from my own cases, fully anonymised.
