Family Solicitors in Crediton

Crediton is a small Mid Devon town about seven miles north-west of Exeter, and separating couples here may prefer to settle things quietly. Mediation, round-table negotiation or collaborative law can keep a case out of court, and a MIAM is usually needed before any application about children or money unless an exemption such as domestic abuse applies. Family and divorce solicitors in Crediton act in divorce and civil partnership dissolution and turn agreements over the home, savings and pensions into a binding consent order. They also help parents settle child arrangements, advise cohabiting couples who separate, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements and can apply urgently for a non-molestation or occupation order. If a case does need a judge, Exeter Law Courts in Southernhay Gardens deals with divorce and children cases, and Crediton cases may be listed there. Citizens Advice has an office at the Lady Mills Centre on Deep Lane, offering drop-in and booked appointments. The county’s commissioned domestic abuse support service helps anyone affected by abuse.
