Family Solicitors in Dulwich

Some separating parents try “nesting”, where the children stay in the family home, and the parents take turns living there, so school and friendships can continue unchanged while they make longer-term decisions. It needs clear rules about money, bills and timing, and a written agreement helps. Family solicitors in Dulwich, which lies mostly in Southwark with parts in Lambeth, draw up these arrangements and advise on what happens next: divorce, selling or transferring the home, pensions, child maintenance and the rights of unmarried partners. They can also apply urgently for a non-molestation order.

Citizens Advice Southwark runs drop-in sessions at its Peckham and Walworth offices, and Southwark Council’s commissioned domestic abuse support service helps anyone affected by abuse.

If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the Central Family Court in High Holborn may hear the case.
