Family court & support in Haringey

REVIEWED BY: Sean McNamara on 2026-08-28

Which court serves you

Family cases for the London Borough of Haringey are principally heard at Barnet Civil and Family Courts Centre, St Mary's Court, Regents Park Road, Finchley Central, London N3 1BQ. The former North London Family Court has closed, and published care-proceedings judgments for Haringey — e.g. London Borough of Haringey v A & Ors [2023] EWFC 301 (B) — record hearings sitting at Barnet. Some matters are listed instead at Edmonton County Court and Family Court (59 Fore Street, Edmonton N18 2TN), so always follow the court named on your most recent notice of hearing. HMCTS National Contact Centre (Civil & Family): 0300 123 5577 (Mon–Fri 8.30am–5pm). See our Barnet Civil and Family Court guide and Edmonton County Court and Family Court guide.

Children's services

For concerns about a child, or if Haringey Council's children's services are involved with your family, find the borough contact route via https://www.gov.uk/report-child-abuse (postcode lookup) — see our children's services guide for what to expect if care proceedings are issued.

Getting there

Barnet Civil and Family Courts Centre sits opposite Finchley Central tube station (Northern line, Zone 4) — from Haringey take the Northern line from Turnpike Lane area connections or a W3/W7 bus to North Finchley then short walk; the journey is typically 30–45 minutes from Wood Green. Edmonton County Court is a short walk from Edmonton Green station (one stop from Seven Sisters on the Lea Valley lines). Allow extra time for security screening at either building.
