Hi Rancher,
Please avoid using solicitor. Too expensive. You should go on the direct access portal and search for a barrister. Also go on gov uk site for c100 form. There is option to fill in form online. See if that’s available to you. Lot easier.
If you’re going to be represented don’t bother for rhe fdrha . It’s just an administrative hearing . The court have a really good template for family matters they go through all the issues and want you want from and order etc so save your money and fill that in . For subsequent hearings depending on what your ex alleges I’d use a direct access barrister .

just to add, above link is a witness statement. you should only complete that if the court ask you to. will most likely be for your final hearing.
Position statement doesn’t have to be fancy and family court isn’t that formal .
My ex literally had the case number and the names of the kids and the hearing date on it .
All you need is a brief history of the issues and what you want from an order
