What our clients say
Amanda Phillips-Wylds runs the team with great skill. What she doesnt know about family law isn’t worth knowing. She is unflappable in even the most pressured situation. Solution driven, Amanda is always eager to reach a negotiated settlement for her clients if possible. However, she’ll never shy away from a fight in court if it’s needed.’
I work mostly with Gemma Davison. Her meticulous case preparation is unrivalled. She is personable and empathetic to her client’s cases, but if a very effective representative and real pleasure to work with.
Monika Gill was an amazing solicitor and person to speak with. She promptly responded to emails and adjusted her schedule to fit us in. However, what was even greater was her amazing advice. She explained each issue with clarity and cohesion and was extremely understanding and considerate of the nuances of a family issue. She went beyond the time frame of the consultation and did not rush or make us feel pressured at any point. She is everything you want in a solicitor handling a family matter. I would highly recommend her service.
Gemma Davison is thorough and has excellent judgement. My experience is that she works hard to resolve matters without resorting to litigation, and any points left for the court to decide are well-prepared and well-argued.
By reputation they are very good and are on the march.
They have a very professional, impeccable and caring approach with excellent management of time scales.
My experiences are of realistic advice, hard fighting and customer service above and beyond that which is usually offered.
Stowe Family Law really care about their clients and work tirelessly to achieve the required outcome.
‘Gemma Davison is excellent with clients and has a thorough knowledge of the law and practicalities of the matter, offering clients a rolls royce of a service.’
Stowe Family Law were excellent and assisted me at what was an incredibly tough time. Mr Chapman was extremely helpful, patient and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and as a firm they were so easy to contact when required. I would like to thank Stowe Family Law and in particular Mr Chapman for the advice and support I was given and for helping me in reaching the desired conclusion. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again if necessary.

Achieving the best outcome for you
Family matters such as child custody, separation and child maintenance can be very serious and the approach and decision you take may impact your life for years to come. With that in mind, taking the first step and asking for legal assistance can often be the hardest part of your journey.
The first time you meet your dedicated divorce lawyer, the focus will be on understanding you and your situation including: family structure, separation circumstances, finances and desired outcomes. You will then be advised on the legal processes, routes and options available to help you achieve the outcome that’s best for you and your family.
Apart from giving you direction, it’s our commitment to you that you’ll feel informed and understand all of the options available to you. If at any point during the process you have questions, the team of family lawyers are on-hand to assist.
Your first appointment with Stowe Family Law also presents an opportunity for you to decide if you want to entrust your case to us and the divorce solicitor giving you that initial advice.

Starting the divorce process
The person initiating the divorce submits a divorce application to the court and is thereafter known as the Applicant. If your ex-partner has already done that, then you will be referred to as the Respondent. The divorce process requires different actions of Applicants and Respondents at different times, and there are strategic implications for both, especially if one of you lives overseas.
-
How long your divorce is likely to take
In England & Wales, for straightforward divorce cases, the process can take between 6 – 8 months. On average, the whole process takes approximately one year. Longer than 12 months is common for cases where there are drawn out disagreements on child and financial matters. It is impossible to predict exactly how long a divorce will take, though a good a divorce lawyer will help give you an educated estimate.
-
How much your divorce is likely to cost
In England & Wales, a divorce costs £593 for the application, plus any solicitor fees and court fees (if applicable). Going to court tends to make divorce more expensive due to court, barrister and additional solicitor fees.
The cleanest and most cost-effective divorces are those where both parties reach an agreement on how to divorce including arrangements for children and the division of assets, avoiding additional costs and any nasty surprises. Doing so will minimise the amount of solicitor time, reduce conflict, legal costs (legal fees) and the possibility of litigation in court.
-
Who gets the children in a divorce
Child arrangements depend largely on what the family decides, the suitability of each parent, the child’s wishes and where applicable, the ruling of a family court Judge. Resulting arrangements can include sole custody, where one parent is the sole caretaker of the child, joint custody and third-party custody where a third party such as a grandparent becomes responsible for the child’s welfare.
-
Your entitlement to the family home
As a starting point in a divorce, assets are split 50:50. As the family home is often the largest asset in the matrimonial pot, then it is common for it to be split between the parties. If a family has other assets, then the house could be given to one party and the other assets to the other. Children are another factor that affects financial arrangements during a divorce. To answer this question accurately, a comprehensive understanding will be required of your family finances.
