About FCIS

The Family Court Investigative Service

The Family Court Investigative Service, or FCIS, was created to help parents organise complex family law matters before taking their next step.

Family law disputes can quickly become overwhelming. Important facts are often spread across court orders, affidavits, emails, messages, allegations, reports, police material, AVO/DVO material, expert reports, and years of history.

FCIS helps turn that scattered material into clearer timelines, issue summaries, evidence maps, and case briefs.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Lucas Cattell

Founder of FCIS

I am a father, former police officer and firefighter, licensed private investigator, and the creator of Kilo 4 Delta, a podcast and advocacy platform focused on family court, AVOs, domestic violence, mental health, suicide, child protection, parental alienation, and system reform.

I created FCIS after seeing the same problem repeatedly. Parents trying to explain complex family law matters without a clear timeline, without organised documents, and without a structured way to present what had happened.

FCIS was created to help fill that gap.

Our Approach

Prepare. Present. Protect.

Prepare

We help organise the background, documents, dates, issues, and priorities.

Present

We help turn scattered material into clearer summaries, timelines, and case structures.

Protect

We help identify gaps, inconsistencies, missing information, and areas that may need attention before next step.

What FCIS Does

Practical Case Preparation Support

FCIS can help with:

document review
timeline preparation
evidence organisation
issue summaries
allegation and response mapping
case brief preparation
identifying missing information
preparing clearer questions for lawyers

FCIS does not decide who is right or wrong.

We help organise the information so the matter can be understood more clearly.

What FCIS Is Not

Important Limits

FCIS is a private investigation and document-support service.

FCIS is not:

a law firm
a court
a government agency
a counselling service
a psychological assessment service
a child protection agency
a substitute for legal advice

FCIS does not provide legal advice, represent clients in court, enforce court orders, make parenting recommendations, or guarantee outcomes.

The role of FCIS is preparation, organisation, and clarity.
