Family Solicitors in Skipton

Skipton is a North Yorkshire market town known for its livestock auction mart. Where farm property, land or livestock form part of a family’s wealth, valuing them and keeping the farm in one piece can be central. A prenuptial agreement can protect land for the next generation. Family and divorce solicitors in Skipton assist parents in agreeing arrangements for the children and act in divorce, civil partnership dissolution and financial settlements covering the home, savings, pensions and maintenance. They also advise couples who live together without marrying, draft cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and the MIAM and can seek an urgent non-molestation or occupation order.

Divorce, child arrangements and domestic abuse cases from Skipton may be heard at Skipton County Court and Family Court on Otley Street.
