Family Solicitors in Skelmersdale

Skelmersdale is a West Lancashire new town, built to rehouse families from the Liverpool area. If a home is rented, a court can transfer certain tenancies to the partner who stays with the children, so the outcome for the home matters whether it is owned or rented. Family and divorce solicitors in Skelmersdale handle this question along with divorce and civil partnership dissolution. They also handle financial settlements involving savings, pensions and maintenance and child arrangements. They can advise unmarried couples in disputes over the home, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and the MIAM and act quickly to obtain a non-molestation or occupation order.

Child arrangements, financial remedy and domestic abuse cases from Skelmersdale may be heard at the Family Court at Sessions House in Preston.
