Family Solicitors in Pontypool

Pontypool is a valley town in Torfaen, South Wales. Family law in Wales is the same as in England. Before a court application about children or money, a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting is generally required. If mediation is safe, an agreement reached there can become a binding consent order. Family and divorce solicitors in Pontypool help clients through that process and handle divorce, dissolution of a civil partnership and financial settlements covering the home, pensions and maintenance. They also advise on child arrangements, support cohabiting couples in property disputes, draft prenuptial agreements and can urgently apply for a non-molestation or occupation order.

Financial remedy, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Pontypool may be heard at Newport (South Wales) County Court and Family Court at Clarence House.

Citizens Advice Torfaen has an office at Portland Buildings on Commercial Street, where people can drop in for free advice. Torfaen Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service provides confidential help, including safety planning.
