Our dedicated divorce lawyers and family law solicitors in Leamington Spa have a great deal of experience in resolving the challenges that arise for families and people when marriage or long-term relationship breakdown. These issues include divorce, civil partnership dissolution, cohabitation agreements, domestic abuse, Pre-nuptial and Post-nuptial agreements, financial settlements, and concerns regarding the welfare of children.
Rebecca Calden-Storr, a Managing Partner at the Leamington Spa office and a highly recommended lawyer in The Legal 500, leads our family law team. She has been practicing law for over 20 years.
Our Birmingham family lawyers have a wide range of experience representing clients ranging from high-net-worth families with substantial assets, income, and investments to professional families and stay-at-home parents.
At Stowe, we realise that every family and divorce is different due to the individuals, lifestyles and assets at stake. Before you start your divorce proceedings, our divorce solicitors will explain the whole process in terms you can comprehend, including your legal rights and alternatives, the timeline, and how to minimise any issues.
One or both spouses submit a divorce application to the court using the HMCTS Portal, citing irretrievable breakdown of the marriage without assigning blame.
After the application is filed, and your former spouse has responded to the petition, a mandatory 20-week reflection period begins. During this time, spouses may also exchange financial information using Form E and address any necessary child arrangements, including including the time your children spend with you both.
After the reflection period, the applicant(s) apply for a Conditional order (previously known as Decree Nisi). The court reviews the case and, if satisfied, grants the order.
Following the Conditional order, there is a mandatory 6-week waiting period before the final step can be taken.
After the 6-week waiting period, the applicant(s) may apply for the Final Order (previously known as Decree Absolute), officially ending the marriage.
If more than 12 months have elapsed between obtaining your conditional order and applying for your final order, you will have to submit a short statement to support your application, explaining the delay.
Whether you’re trying to safeguard your assets or guarantee your financial future, we have a proven track record of success in settling financial disputes. If you’re going through a divorce, our lawyers will work together with our in-house accounting staff to rapidly give you a comprehensive analysis of your family’s financial situation, which will strengthen your case and increase the likelihood of a favourable settlement. Our divorce lawyers in Leamington Spa assist clients with a wide variety of intricate monetary concerns, including the marital home, pension plans, trusts, shareholdings and other business interests.
Yes, we’re proud to say that our Leamington Spa child law specialists have experience in handling child arrangement orders as well as other children’s law matters, like relocations and child maintenance.
In fact, Rebecca Calden-Storr, Managing Partner, is one of the UK’s only family solicitors to successfully settle a child dispute via arbitration, rather than going to court. So, you can trust that no matter how complex your case, our solicitors have the knowledge to help you succeed.
Each family and separation is unique due to the individuals, lifestyles, and assets involved, we at Stowe begin by instinctively knowing your situation. Your divorce lawyers will next describe the divorce procedure to you in terms you can comprehend, including the options accessible to you, timeframes, and strategies for avoiding issues and delays.
Your divorce procedure officially begins when you file for divorce. You can file for divorce on your own (as the only applicant) or jointly with your ex-spouse (joint applicants). It’s crucial to do this first step right because it can help you save time and money and improve the relationship between the parties. To avoid delays, our divorce lawyers can assist you in filling out and submitting the divorce application.
We know that going through a divorce is stressful enough without being asked to respond to a divorce application. You might not understand the legal jargon and quite frankly, not want to get divorced.
However, if you’ve been asked to respond, it means your ex-partner has begun the divorce process. Our divorce solicitors can guide you through the process in terms you understand. We’ll be by your side throughout your divorce, so you always have an expert in your corner.
In both England and Wales, a no-fault divorce system operates. This means that there is now no need to state your reason for your divorce, simply that it has broken down.
The cost of your divorce is unique to your circumstances. For example, if you have complications within your divorce application, like child arrangement orders or financial settlements, this may extend how long it takes, which could impact the price.
There are some ‘set’ prices that come with divorce, such as the court fee, which is currently £612. Of course, you will also have your solicitors’ fees to pay.
At 16 years old, a child is allowed to decide with which parent they want to live. However, this all depends on whether there is a residence order that states with whom they live until they are 18.
In England and Wales, a non-complex divorce typically takes between 6-8 months. However, the chances of having a straightforward divorce are slim. This is because most clients have children and finances to divide.
Therefore, your divorce may take longer while you are negotiating. For a more accurate estimate for your specific situation, reach out to our team today.
