Helping you establish your rights

Find out what your rights are if your relationship has broken down, for example, whether you can stay in the family home or who the children should live with. We will help you find out how to deal with things like making a will, registering a birth or changing your name, domestic and financial abuse, and where else to go for help for looking after loved ones.

We can provide you with a list of local solicitors who can help you and give you specific advice.

Get in touch if you have a personal or family related problem.

 

For many legal issues we can give you basic information, but we would need to refer you to another organisation e.g. a solicitor, for more specific advice.
