Family Solicitors in Peckham

Peckham is a richly diverse part of south London, with a large British Nigerian community. If a couple married abroad or owns property or family land overseas, an early question is whether the courts here can deal with it. A parent planning to take a child abroad, to visit relatives or to live, may need the other parent’s consent or a court order. Family and divorce solicitors in Peckham advise on these points and also handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution and financial settlements over the home, savings and pensions. They help parents with child arrangements, advise unmarried partners on property disputes and draft prenuptial or cohabitation agreements. They can explain mediation and the MIAM and seek an urgent non-molestation or occupation order if someone is at risk.

Family cases from Peckham may be heard at the Central Family Court on High Holborn.

Peckham Citizens Advice has an office on Peckham High Street, where people can drop in for free advice. Southwark Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service offers confidential support and safety planning.
