Family Solicitors in Totnes

Totnes is a historic market town on the River Dart in the South Hams. As anywhere, separating spouses here must each give full disclosure of income, property, savings and pensions, and an agreement becomes binding only once a court approves it as a consent order. Family and divorce solicitors in Totnes check those figures, negotiate financial settlements and handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution. They also assist parents with child arrangements, advise unmarried couples who separate and prepare prenuptial and cohabitation agreements. They can explain mediation and MIAMs and make an urgent application for a non-molestation or occupation order.

Divorce and child arrangements cases from Totnes may be heard at Torquay and Newton Abbot County Court and Family Court on Nicholson Road or another court in the region.

Citizens Advice South Hams has an office at Follaton House on Plymouth Road, where people can drop in for free advice. Confidential help, including safety planning, is available from the county’s commissioned domestic abuse service.
