- [Divorce Papers and What Happens Next](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/divorce-papers-and-what-happens-next/): Receiving a divorce notice can raise an immediate question: does this settle the money or arrangements for children too? These are separate issues, and it helps to know which process each document belongs to.
- [Preparing for a Child Arrangements Hearing](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/preparing-for-a-child-arrangements-hearing/): A hearing about where a child lives or spends time can bring a lot of detail into the room. A short, child-focused note can help you explain what matters most.
- [Before Your First Financial Remedy Hearing](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/before-your-first-financial-remedy-hearing/): The first hearing often focuses on what information is still needed, rather than deciding how money will be divided. Knowing what to gather can make the process easier to follow.
- [Grounds for appeal](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/grounds-for-appeal/): Appealing a family court decision is not a step to be taken lightly. The process can be complex and the legal thresholds high.
- [Alienating Behaviours - three necessary elements](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/alienating-behaviours-three-necessary-elements/): In Re C (‘Parental Alienation; Instruction of Expert), Sir Andrew McFarlane adopted the definition proffered by the Association of Clinical Psychologists (ACP-UK) that ‘parental alienation’ is not a syndrome capable of being diagnosed, but a process of manipulation of children perpetrated by one parent against the other through what are termed as alienating behaviours.
- [Hints and Tips for having Video calls with children](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/hints-and-tips-for-having-video-calls-with-children/): Try to have the calls rescheduled early in the morning after breakfast. Kids are more attentive at that time.
- [Children Case Law](https://help.mycourtbuddy.com/children-case-law/): Courts must consider repeated, consistent wishes of young children where safe.
