Family Solicitors in Lowestoft

Lowestoft has a long history as a working port that served the oil and gas industry and now supports offshore wind. Some local parents work away for days or weeks at a time, so child arrangements may need to follow offshore rotas and maintenance may need to reflect allowances, bonuses or overtime. Family and divorce solicitors in Lowestoft help with both and also handle divorce, civil partnership dissolution and settlements that divide the family home, savings and pensions built up offshore. They advise unmarried partners who separate, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, outline mediation and the MIAM and can apply without delay for a non-molestation or occupation order. Divorce, children and domestic abuse cases from Lowestoft may be heard at Norwich Combined Court Centre on Bishopgate. Citizens Advice East Suffolk operates an office at St Margaret’s House on Gordon Road, where people can drop in for free advice. The county’s commissioned domestic abuse service gives confidential support and help with safety planning.
