Your projected road
Forms you’re likely to meet
This map is alive in the Unknot app.
In the app, your road re-draws itself as real events land, every letter gets filed and explained, Form E becomes a checklist instead of a nightmare, and a daily companion keeps you steady enough to make good decisions. Early access is open.
Guidance, not legal advice. Unknot explains the process; what to claim or settle for is a question for a solicitor, and the app will tell you the same thing. Timings are typical ranges from published court statistics and rules — your case will be its own. If you are in danger, call 999. National Domestic Abuse Helpline: 0808 2000 247 (24/7).
