Family Solicitors in Emsworth

Family mediators operate in and around Emsworth, and separating couples usually have to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting before applying to court about children or money, unless an exemption such as domestic abuse applies. Family and divorce solicitors in Emsworth advise during mediation, check that any agreement is fair and turn it into a binding consent order. They assist with divorce, civil partnership dissolution, pensions and maintenance. They also help parents with child arrangements and deal with cohabitation disputes and prenuptial agreements. If someone is at risk, they can apply for a protective order such as a non-molestation order.

Divorce cases, as well as matters concerning children and adoption, may be heard at the Portsmouth Combined Court Centre on Winston Churchill Avenue.

Citizens Advice Havant offers an outreach session at the Cabin in Emsworth Baptist Church, in addition to providing drop-in services in Havant. The county’s commissioned domestic abuse support service provides confidential safety planning.
