Who decides how much spousal maintenance I will pay/receive?

Your divorce lawyer will advise you of how much spousal maintenance a judge is likely to award you, and this will inform any negotiations you have.

If you are unable to agree on an amount and your case goes to court, the judge will decide how much you should receive.

Ideally, you will be able to reach an agreement without a judge having to decide the outcome.

You can consider mediation, arbitration or a Private FDR to help you reach a settlement.

    What our clients say

    I approached Louise to help me with my, divorce, finances and safeguarding issues around my children . Louise was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She offered me so much support and guidance and was with me every step of the way. It never felt like anything was too much trouble and I always felt reassured. I would highly recommend Louise at Stowe family law, if you are looking for a highly professional and superb service then I suggest you instruct Stowe family law to act on your behalf as I am so grateful that I did.
    Client: Mrs H
    I would like to thank Kate Sarsfield, QC Katherine Dunseath and Gill Bridger for all the hard work and immense support they have all given me over the past six months. Stowe handled my divorce in 2013 to 2015 and then a capital settlement plus lifetime maintenance for our down syndrome daughter five years later. It has been an extremely emotional and stressful experience for myself and our two special needs children. I cannot thank the Stowe team enough for their professionalism, quality advice, empathy and wonderful support. We fought a very hard battle and won! I will always recommend Stowe Family Law.
    Client: Ms G
    I came across Stowe during a specific search online and I am so glad I found them. Once my background case had been assessed, Gareth Curtis was recommended to me as the best placed for my needs. Gareth has been so empathetic, supporting and preemptive of outcomes before they happened which I have to say helped me to understand the process very well and take some comfort in his knowledge. Stowe were also able to provide in house forensic accounting and recommend to me a very well suited Barrister and other experts that I have needed to call upon. I am happy with the outcome they achieved for me. There is no shadow of doubt that I would highly recommend using Stowe, they will be there every step of the way to ensure you are looked after and receive the best possible advice available. Thank you.
    Client: Mrs B
    Pensions all in order, thanks to your good work. You were very professional and would recommend you to anyone. Sincere thanks.
    Client: Mr D
    Stowe Family Law provided professional support and direction during a difficult and contentious divorce proceeding, involving court settlements for financial and child custody elements. Despite demanding court deadlines and some challenges associated with exchanges between solicitors, Kate (and the Stowe Family Law team) was always able to meet deadlines and even contacted me outside of normal working hours when swift communication and action was required. I found Kate’s review and crafting of legal documents to be very helpful. Kate was able to recommend and co-ordinate with a very competent barrister to represent me during the court appearances and supported those interactions herself during those times. Although going through a divorce can be an incredibly sad and harrowing time, the legal services that were afforded by Kate did aid in making me feel supported and professionally guided during the overall process.
    Client: Mr C
    I would like to thank Paul Linsdell and the team at Stowe Family Law for their care and compassion during my divorce proceedings on both child and financial matters. From my very first dealings with Paul I felt supported; his calm demeanour and pragmatic advice I had the upmost confidence in. I was guided through each step of the process and Paul really listened and understood my wants and needs. Whilst I hope to never have to go through such a personally difficult time again, I would recommend Stowe Family Law (Winchester) to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
    Client: Ms A
    I have been working with Mira for around 2 years to finalise my divorce financial settlement. It has been a very difficult time for me personally so it proved reassuring to know Stowe and Mira were handling it on my behalf. They have been both professional and prompt in our correspondence and meetings. I would recommend them to friends which I believe is the true measure of a company.
    Client: Mrs G
    When experiencing maintenance issues after my divorce Shanika Varga helped me in resolving these issues. She provided a very clear explanation of how to go forward and was very efficient in the whole process of dealing with the situation which brought me to an agreeable result. Shanika was very approachable, kind and caring and I would recommend her to others.
    Client: Mrs F
