Family Solicitors in Sydenham

Sydenham is a diverse area in south-east London known for its Victorian villas and period homes. When a period property is the main asset, a settlement may hinge on its value and whether one partner can keep it. Family and divorce solicitors in Sydenham handle divorce, civil partnership dissolution and financial claims over property, pensions and maintenance. For parents, they help settle where the children live and how time is shared. They also represent cohabiting couples in disputes over a shared home, draw up prenuptial and cohabitation agreements and can apply for an injunction where someone needs urgent protection from abuse. Mediation and the MIAM can be explained first.

Divorce, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Sydenham may be heard at East London Family Court on Westferry Circus or another court in the region.

Citizens Advice Lewisham has an office on Bonfield Road in Lewisham, where people can seek free advice. Anyone affected by domestic abuse can get confidential support and safety planning from Lewisham Council’s commissioned service.
