Family Solicitors in Berkhamsted

House prices in Berkhamsted are high, so the family home can be the main asset to divide when a couple separates. Family lawyers in the town help determine whether one person can keep the house, whether it must be sold and how pensions and savings should be balanced in the outcome. They handle divorce proceedings, arrangements for children and maintenance. They also advise couples who live together without marrying, prepare cohabitation and prenuptial agreements and apply for non-molestation orders if someone is at risk.
