Family Solicitors in Whitstable

Whitstable is a seaside town on the North Kent coast and a popular place to retire. When couples separate later in life, pensions, the family home and retirement income need to be considered together, and wills may need updating once the divorce is final. Family and divorce solicitors in Whitstable handle divorce and civil partnership dissolution, financial settlements and arrangements for children of all ages. They also help couples who lived together without marrying resolve property disputes, draft prenuptial and cohabitation agreements for second marriages and new relationships and explain how mediation can help settle issues without a court hearing. If someone needs protection, they can apply quickly for a non-molestation order.

Divorce, child arrangements, domestic abuse and adoption cases from Whitstable may be heard at Canterbury Combined Court Centre on Chaucer Road or another court in the region.

Canterbury Citizens Advice runs an outreach service at Whitstable Umbrella on Oxford Street, where people can drop in for help. The county’s commissioned domestic abuse service provides confidential support and safety planning.
