Family Solicitors in Kennington

Divorce, children and financial cases from Kennington may be heard at the Central Family Court on High Holborn.

A large share of homes in Kennington are council-owned. For couples who are separating and share a joint tenancy, one key consideration is that if one tenant gives notice to the landlord, the entire tenancy can be terminated for both parties. Family solicitors in Kennington can offer guidance before taking this step and explain how the court can transfer the tenancy to the partner who remains with the children. They also provide advice on divorce, child arrangements, cohabitation disputes and urgent protection orders.

Citizens Advice Merton and Lambeth has an office on Kennington Lane, where people can drop in for help. Lambeth Council’s commissioned domestic abuse support service offers confidential help and safety planning.
