Why this is asked

Tests whether you can acknowledge the relationship dynamics honestly.

GentleMediumHostile

Ten questions, written from the other side's playbook for your specific case. Gentle openers to settle you in, credibility probes that test what you said in your statement, and the hostile ones designed to throw you. You see what each one is getting at.

“You are the respondent’s parent. Let’s test how objective you can really be.”
Example question, fact-finding hearing

“Can you tell the court about your relationship with the children?”

3

Understand every question

Each question comes with the reason it gets asked, how to approach your answer, and key points to remember.

Why they ask it

This is a warm-up question. Be concise, focus on your involvement, and show genuine understanding of each child.

Key points

✓Stay specific, not vague
✓Mention routines you share
4

Ask follow-up questions

Open a chat on any question. Ask 'What does this really mean?' and get a clear, human answer.

Question

“You never really accepted them...”

What does “putting the case” mean?
It means the barrister is stating their client's version...

Why this is different

The usual approach

Walk into court having never seen a practice question. No idea what will be asked, why, or how to respond.

Our approach

Litigant builds ten questions from your case, each with preparation notes. Start free and see three of them once a month, with chat on each. Standard gives you all ten, three full sets a month, and chat on every question.

“I like the way the app talks to me, others talk too court related sounds unnatural if I were to talk like that to the court. This explains and helps how to answer in real and honestly”

Early tester, fact-finding hearing - A hearing where the court decides whether alleged events (usually domestic abuse) actually happened. The judge hears evidence and makes findings that affect the rest of the case.

“The replies even to the questions are spot on. It's soo good”

Early tester

“that chat box is perfect!”
