Family Solicitors in Prestwich

Prestwich is a town in the Borough of Bury, north of Manchester, with a large Jewish community. If a couple needs a religious divorce, such as a get, as well as a civil one, the court can delay the final civil divorce order until the religious divorce is in place. This can help if one spouse is reluctant to cooperate. Family and divorce solicitors in Prestwich explain how the two fit together and also handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution, financial settlements covering the home, pensions and maintenance, and arrangements for the children. They advise couples who live together without marrying, prepare prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, guide clients through mediation and can urgently apply for a non-molestation order.

Divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Prestwich may be heard at Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Bridge Street West.

Citizens Advice Bury and Bolton runs a drop-in at Prestwich Library in the Longfield Centre, where people can get free advice. Bury Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service provides confidential help, including safety planning.
