Family Solicitors in Shepton Mallet

Shepton Mallet is a Somerset market town surrounded by farmland. If a farm, land or rural business is part of a separation, it needs valuing, and the question may be whether one spouse can keep it running. Family and divorce solicitors in Shepton Mallet handle that within the wider financial settlement, including the home, pensions and maintenance. They also handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution. They can help parents decide where the children will live and how time with each parent is shared, and advise unmarried partners on shared property. Prenuptial and cohabitation agreements can protect land before problems arise, and solicitors can also explain mediation and urgently apply for a non-molestation or occupation order.

Divorce, child arrangements and domestic abuse cases from Shepton Mallet may be heard at Yeovil County, Family and Magistrates’ Court on Petters Way.

Citizens Advice Somerset has an office at Highfield House on Park Road, where people can drop in for free advice. Somerset Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service gives confidential support and help with safety planning.
