Family Solicitors in Dudley

Who pays debts when a relationship ends? Joint loans, overdrafts and mortgage arrears remain the responsibility of both partners, regardless of any agreements made between them. Therefore, a settlement needs to address debts with the same care as assets. Family and divorce solicitors in Dudley, a town that developed as an industrial centre in the 19th century, help separating couples untangle joint finances, divide property and pensions and agree child maintenance and arrangements for children. They also advise couples who lived together without marrying and draft cohabitation agreements. In addition, they outline the mediation process and can quickly apply for a non-molestation order.

Dudley County Court and Family Court at The Inhedge handles divorce and child arrangement cases. Local cases may be heard there.

Citizens Advice Dudley and Wolverhampton sees clients by appointment at Dudley House on Stone Street. Dudley Council’s commissioned domestic abuse support service helps anyone affected by abuse.
