Family Solicitors in Rochester

Rochester is a historic cathedral town on the River Medway. Where one partner wants to keep the family home, by buying the other out or taking on the mortgage, or a sale is postponed until the children are older, the eventual share of the proceeds needs agreeing. Family and divorce solicitors in Rochester advise on those choices and on pensions, savings and maintenance, and they handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution. Parents can get help with child arrangements, and cohabiting couples with property disputes. Solicitors also draft prenuptial agreements, explain the MIAM and mediation and can apply urgently for a non-molestation or occupation order. Divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Rochester may be heard at Medway County Court and Family Court at Gun Wharf in Chatham. Citizens Advice Medway offers face-to-face sessions at outreach venues in Rochester, and people should contact it first to arrange help. Confidential support and safety planning are available through the local council’s commissioned domestic abuse service.
