Family Solicitors in Littlehampton

Littlehampton has an operational commercial port on the River Arun, and some local families depend on marine and port jobs with shifts that change from week to week. When parents with irregular schedules separate, child arrangements need to be flexible, and where income varies, child maintenance may be handled through the Child Maintenance Service or a family-based arrangement. Family and divorce solicitors in Littlehampton advise on both and also act in divorce, civil partnership dissolution and the division of the family home, savings and pensions. They help unmarried couples who part, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and the MIAM and can apply urgently for a non-molestation or occupation order. Divorce, children and domestic abuse cases from Littlehampton may be heard at Worthing County Court and Family Court on Christchurch Road. Citizens Advice Arun and Chichester operates a drop-in service at Littlehampton Library on Maltravers Road. Anyone affected by domestic abuse can get confidential support and safety planning from the county’s commissioned service.
