Family Solicitors in Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets is a religiously diverse borough in east London with a large Bangladeshi community. Where a marriage took place abroad, or a religious ceremony was held here without civil registration, a solicitor can clarify whether English law recognises it and how that affects claims over the home and finances. Family and divorce solicitors in Tower Hamlets act in divorce and civil partnership dissolution, explain how a religious divorce fits with the civil process and help parents settle where the children live. They negotiate financial settlements covering property and pensions, advise unmarried partners, prepare prenuptial and cohabitation agreements and guide clients through mediation and the MIAM. They can also seek an urgent non-molestation or occupation order. Divorce, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Tower Hamlets may be heard at East London Family Court on Westferry Circus or another court in the region. Tower Hamlets (East End) Citizens Advice has an office on Greatorex Street, where people can drop in for free advice. Tower Hamlets Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service offers confidential support and safety planning.
