Family Solicitors in Otley

Otley is a Wharfedale market town known for its long-running agricultural show. If a separating couple owns a farm or family business, they may ask how it is valued and whether one spouse can keep it running. A prenuptial agreement can help families protect a farm or business handed down through the generations. Family and divorce solicitors in Otley advise on both and handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution, including dividing the home and pensions. They also help parents agree where the children live, assist unmarried couples in property disputes and draft cohabitation agreements. Solicitors can explain mediation and the MIAM and seek urgent non-molestation or occupation orders.

Divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Otley may be heard at Leeds Combined Court Centre on Oxford Row.
