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.

If you’re the one submitting your divorce application to court, you are known as the Applicant. If you’ve been asked to respond to a divorce application, this means your ex-spouse has begun the process, and you are known as the Respondent. 

There are different actions and deadlines for both sides of the process, but our Banbury divorce solicitors have experience in both. So, no matter what you need, our experts are here to help. 

There is no set duration for a divorce. This is due to the complexity of each individual case – for example, it may take you longer than expected to negotiate your divorce settlement or agree to a child arrangement order. 

A straightforward divorce takes between 6-8 months, but it isn’t common. Our divorce solicitors in Banbury will listen to your unique circumstances and be able to provide a more tailored estimation of how long your divorce could take. 

Just like every marriage, the cost of every divorce is unique. This is because each has its own collection of complications, like negotiating the financial settlement. No one knows how long this will take, which can have an impact on the cost of your divorce. The only standard price within your divorce is the court cost – £612. 

Here at Stowe Family Law, we listen to your situation and will be able to provide a more accurate depiction of how much your divorce could cost.  

We understand that organising where and with whom your children live after a divorce can be incredibly emotional. It can be hard to agree on a child arrangement order, but our child law specialists will be by your side to guide you through the process. 

The agreement is based on what the family decides – both the children’s wishes as well as the suitability of either parent. A family court judge will rule on the matter, whether that be sole custody or joint custody, potentially even third custody for grandparents if the judge rules this is best for the children’s welfare. 

Where possible, assets during a divorce are generally split 50:50. However, the family home is often a couple’s largest asset, so it isn’t always an even split depending on each person’s needs and contributions. So, to ensure fairness, assets may be divided differently depending on your circumstances. 

Our lawyers have years of experience in financial settlements, having helped many clients from various backgrounds. Therefore, if you want an expert in your corner to take the strain, we’ll be more than happy to help. Get in contact with Stowe Family Law today.
