We pay attention to your particular situation and assist you in coming up with a practical solution for the welfare of your family. Our comprehensive approach encourages out-of-court settlements, but we recognise that litigation is occasionally necessary and employs a forceful and effective approach.
Each customer has specific demands, thus we customise our strategy and legal counsel accordingly. From the very beginning of the divorce process all the way to the end, we walk you through the practical, emotional, and legal elements of divorce (and other forms of separation).
Our extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced lawyers maintain a firm understanding of family law and the uniqueness of each case. Our family department carry out excellent legal practice for a multitude of cases, such as domestic violence injunctions, postnuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and relationship breakdowns.
Family Law Solicitor
While our divorce lawyers are known for being skilled litigators, we also provide out-of-court (alternative dispute resolution) options, such as mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law, that enable each spouse to come to decisions and come to agreements on finances, any children involved, and other family matters.
Along with helping our clients with the legal aspects of divorce, we always take an empathic stance and urge them to seek out to our network of family support specialists if necessary. This includes parental support groups, coaches, and therapists. We do everything in our power to represent parents during divorce proceedings and ensure the best possible solutions for the child’s welfare.

Read reviews for Nantwich
I cannot put into words how grateful I am for your due diligence, attention to detail and sticking with me through this process. I know this case has gone on longer than would normally be warranted in these situations but I am so pleased with how you have handled this important issue for me and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support through my case
A huge thank you from me. Since you have taken on my case, I have always felt completely reassured with this huge ordeal actually just feeling like something going on in the background as I have full confidence in you. This has allowed me to focus on quality time with my family and also for me to focus on my career. Yesterday I secured a big promotion and I would not have been able to without the peace of mind and stability you have brought to my life. THANK YOU!!
Finding a solicitor to trust and see through on my case was very nerve racking, I am very grateful I found Stowe Family Law and by proxy Emily. I can not thank her enough for the level of care she has given my case. She has demonstrated brilliant legal knowledge, great care for my case, and offered all legal options available to myself. Emily is a credit to your firm.
I am struggling to capture in words just how amazing Emily has been throughout this difficult period in my life!
I feel like she s held my hand through every obstacle and knows exactly what to do in each situation, her confidence and knowledge give me reassurance and where I would have given up or completely had a meltdown, Emily has given me different options and helped me to push through.
Emily has really understood the hidden details in my case, has brought them to light and is fighting for me, which takes so much pressure off me, I feel so extremely grateful that I have her with me and I would highly recommend her, not only for being exceptional in her work and professionalism but also as an understanding, compassionate and lovely person in what is a very difficult period in anyone's life.
Having struggled to initially find a law firm (and having a bad experience with another law firm in the past), I am so glad I found this company. Every step has been very professional and prompt and throughout a very clear explanation of fees and charges. I have full confidence in Emily and the team and have continued to be super impressed with her dealing with my family law matter. She is clearly very knowledgeable and really appreciate the initial consultation to really get to understand my problem and what I want to achieve and then always working with that end goal in mind. Communication has been great and the whole process as stress free as possible.
Thank you for your email, I’m so impressed and happy with how prompt and professional you continue to be!
Amazing firm and Emily is a fantastic solicitor.

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 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
The cost of a divorce includes the court fee (currently £612) and the costs of the solicitors who assist the parties with the divorce process if they are instructed.
The person applying for the divorce (the applicant) will be responsible for covering the court fee. If the application is a joint one, applicant 1 will pay the court fee.
It is important to note that costs relating to the divorce are different from those incurred in negotiating a financial settlement and/or child arrangements.
-
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.
