Types of Family Court Documents:
Witness Statements
These are detailed documents outlining the background and facts of your case, often supported by evidence. They are typically longer than position statements and may be subject to family court-imposed page limits.
Position Statements
A concise summary of your position, usually prepared after receiving key documents like a Cafcass report. These are not evidence-heavy and are often limited in length by the court.
Instructions to Experts
When the court allows expert involvement, a formal letter of instruction must be sent. These documents are technical and must clearly outline the expert’s role, instructions and the court’s expectations.
Case Outlines or Summaries
These documents are prepared for hearings—especially final ones— and present your legal case in a structured and persuasive way. Judges often read these just before the hearing begins, making them crucial to your case.
