“A legal force of Nature”  – The Daily Telegraph

Every year, more than 100,000 marriages in England and Wales end in divorce. If it’s happening to you, you’re not odd, you’re not unusual and you’re certainly not alone. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be worrying about the future, frightened about finances, concerned for your home and worried about your children.

The law in this area is complex and rapidly changing to reflect society’s changing social mores and lifestyle choices. You may wish to instigate proceedings to end an unhappy relationship, or you may be on the receiving end of a divorce petition from your spouse.

First Steps

In order to obtain a divorce you must have been married for at least 12 months and must be able to demonstrate that your marriage has suffered “irretrievable breakdown”.

At the first meeting with your divorce solicitor you will discuss the reasons for the breakdown of the marriage and whether the marriage can be saved. If it can’t, you will be asked to provide information in relation to the date of separation; details of any children of the family including the proposed future arrangements for the children; details of your own and your partner’s assets, income, savings and pension interests.

Steering our clients through the upset, distress and acceptance of divorce is an essential part of our job. Stowe Family Law solicitors understand that divorce can be an emotionally testing time for all of those involved.

We can help you find a divorce lawyer who really can help. Furthermore, we are here to shoulder the burden for you so that you can begin the process of re-building your life.
