Family court & support in Epsom

REVIEWED BY: Sean McNamara on 2026-08-29

Which court serves you

There is no family court in Epsom itself. Epsom Magistrates' Court has closed — gov.uk's Find a Court or Tribunal lists it as "no longer in service", with business transferred to neighbouring courts (https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/courts/epsom-magistrates-court). Family work for Epsom and Ewell (divorce, child arrangements, domestic abuse applications, financial remedies) is heard at Guildford County Court and Family Court, The Law Courts, Mary Road, Guildford GU1 4PS — see our full Guildford court guide.

Main enquiries (HMCTS National Contact Centre, Mon–Fri 8.30am–5pm): 0300 123 5577; divorce enquiries: 0300 303 0642 (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm). Family Court location code: 211 (use this on C100 and other family forms). Court open Mon–Fri 9am–4pm; the counter is by appointment only — contact the court before travelling.
