What clients usually ask
How should I prepare?

The usual first steps
- Separate urgent concerns from longer-term issues.
- Identify existing rights, agreements and orders.
- Choose a negotiated or court-based next step.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
