Family Solicitors in Arundel

Around Arundel, a working farm, land or an equestrian business can form part of what a divorcing couple owns, and these assets are harder to value and divide than a house and a pension. The court applies the same principles as in any divorce (fairness, needs and sharing), but with a farming business that often means expert valuation and solutions that avoid forcing the sale of land held in a family for generations.

Arrangements for children are usually agreed separately from the finances, with the court involved only where parents cannot agree. Family solicitors here also draw up prenuptial agreements where land or a business is brought into a marriage, advise grandparents seeking contact and help people who need protection from abuse.

Contested cases may go to Worthing County Court and Family Court. WORTH Services supports people affected by abuse across West Sussex, and the closest Citizens Advice is in Littlehampton.
