Family Solicitors in Wickford

Wickford is a town in the borough of Basildon in south Essex, and it developed from an agricultural village during the twentieth century. For families living here, separation can mean sorting out the home, dividing savings and pensions and establishing a routine for the children. Family and divorce solicitors in Wickford help with divorce and civil partnership dissolution, financial settlements and child arrangements. They also represent couples who lived together without marrying when disputes arise over a shared home, and they prepare prenuptial and cohabitation agreements. A solicitor can explain the Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) that comes before a court application and can quickly apply for a non-molestation or occupation order when protection is needed.

Divorce, child arrangements, domestic abuse and adoption cases from Wickford may be heard at Southend County Court and Family Court on Victoria Avenue or another court in the region.

Citizens Advice Braintree and South Essex is based at The Basildon Centre in Basildon, and people must contact it in advance to arrange a visit. The county’s commissioned domestic abuse service offers confidential support and safety planning.
