Family Solicitors in Newbury

Newbury is a Berkshire market town with several large corporate employers. Separating spouses here may need to value bonuses, share schemes, company cars and other workplace benefits alongside the family home and pensions. Family and divorce solicitors in Newbury handle these financial settlements as part of divorce or civil partnership dissolution, and they draft prenuptial agreements that set out in advance how such assets would be shared. They also help parents agree where the children live and how time is shared, advise cohabiting couples on property disputes and explain mediation and the MIAM before any application. If someone is at risk, they can seek an urgent non-molestation or occupation order.

Divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements and domestic abuse cases from Newbury may be heard at Reading County Court and Family Court on Friar Street.

West Berkshire Citizens Advice has an office at Broadway House on The Broadway, where people can drop in for free advice. The local council’s commissioned domestic abuse service offers confidential support and safety planning.
