Family Solicitors in Hoddesdon

Hoddesdon has a sizeable Italian community. When a separating family owns a home or land in another country, questions can arise about which country’s courts should hear the case, how overseas property is valued and whether an agreement made abroad will be recognised here. Family and divorce solicitors in Hoddesdon handle these issues alongside divorce, civil partnership dissolution and the division of the family home, savings and pensions. They advise parents on child arrangements, including consent for visits abroad, represent unmarried couples who separate, draft prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and can apply urgently for non-molestation orders.

Divorce and domestic abuse cases may be heard at Hertford County Court and Family Court in Shire Hall, while children and financial cases may go to Watford County Court and Family Court.

Citizens Advice Broxbourne serves Hoddesdon from its Bishops College office in Cheshunt, where people can drop in for help with money and housing. Anyone affected by domestic abuse can access confidential support and safety planning from the area’s commissioned service.
