Young and Lee Solicitors are offering a FREE family law drop-in surgery every Monday night between 5.30 – 8.00pm. No appointment is needed. Free parking available.
Everyone gets at least 20 mins, but if time allows, depending on the number of people attending, they will spend as much time as needed.
The idea, is simply to give general advice, and reassurances, and see how they can help taking the matter forward and if they cannot help, it is likely they will know who can.
The areas of family law covered are:
- Divorce or separation
- Arranging contact with your children
- Seeking residence orders
- Going through separation In a Civil Partnership
- Surrogacy
- Adoption
- Pre-nuptial agreement
- Cohabitation agreement
The general advice can be given in relation to non-contentious matters as well as issues that arise following separation.
