Family Solicitors in Bideford

Bideford sits in rural north Devon, where some separating couples may share farmland, a family business or holiday lets as well as their home. Land inherited by one person may be treated differently from assets built up together, though it can still be considered if needed to meet both people’s needs. Family and divorce solicitors in Bideford help value and divide these assets, along with pensions and savings. They also handle divorce or civil partnership dissolution, arrangements for children and maintenance. They advise unmarried couples who separate, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and the Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM), and can apply for a non-molestation order when someone is at risk from a partner.

Family cases can be heard at the Barnstaple Law Courts on North Walk.

Torridge, North, Mid and West Devon Citizens Advice offers sessions at the Bideford Medical Centre on Abbotsham Road. North Devon Against Domestic Abuse supports people across the area. You can compare local firms using the listings below.
