Family Solicitors in Weymouth

Weymouth is a Dorset seaside town with a working harbour and fishing fleet, and much local work is seasonal or part-time. When income rises in summer and falls in winter, it can affect child maintenance, spousal support and what each person can afford after a separation. Family and divorce solicitors in Weymouth handle divorce and the dissolution of civil partnerships, and negotiate financial settlements covering the home, savings and pensions. Arrangements for where the children live and how they see each parent sit alongside that work, as do disputes between couples who never married and prenuptial or cohabitation agreements. Before court, a solicitor can explain the mediation process, and where someone is at risk, they can apply urgently for a non-molestation order.

Child arrangements cases from Weymouth may be heard at Weymouth Combined Court on Westwey Road or another court in the region.

Central Dorset Citizens Advice has a drop-in office at Weymouth Library and Learning Centre on Great George Street. Dorset Council’s commissioned domestic abuse service gives confidential support and help with safety planning.
