Family Solicitors in Truro

Truro is Cornwall’s cathedral city and the county’s administrative centre. Grandparents and other relatives usually need the court’s permission before applying for a child arrangements order, and a special guardianship order can give a carer long-term responsibility for a child. Family and divorce solicitors in Truro advise relatives and parents on child arrangements, and they handle divorce, civil partnership dissolution and financial settlements including pensions and maintenance. They also help unmarried couples with disputes over a home, prepare prenuptial and cohabitation agreements, explain mediation and the MIAM and can apply at short notice for a non-molestation or occupation order.

Divorce, child arrangements, adoption and domestic abuse cases from Truro may be heard at Truro County Court and Family Court on Edward Street or another court in the region.

Citizens Advice Cornwall has an office at The Library on Union Place, and people can contact them to arrange free advice. Cornwall Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service offers confidential support and safety planning.
