No matter the complexity of the financial situation at hand or the need for a child custody arrangement order, it is our goal at Stowe Family Law to work with you to find a solution. The satisfaction and welfare of our customers come first at all times, and this affects how we deliver our individualised service.

Our clients in Newcastle and the North East rely on Stowe family law for specialised help. We deal with a range of families, including those of working parents, stay-at-home parents, and families with significant wealth and assets.

On your side – Family lawyer Newcastle

Under the direction of Partner Nicky Hunter, Regional Director Rachel Roberts, and Managing Partner Sarah Barr-Young, we give the best accurate legal advice in Newcastle by fusing our sharp legal knowledge with empathy and customer concern. To avoid protracted processes, we take an out-of-court settlement method. However, we understand that this is only sometimes possible. When litigation is necessary to reach a just conclusion, we have extensive litigation experience. We are fully aware of the level of legal knowledge needed to help you and your family get through this extremely trying time.

As a local family law firm, we customise our strategies and legal counsel to meet the needs of each client, assisting you from beginning to end with the pragmatic, emotional, and legal facets of divorce (and other types of separation). Additionally, the Solicitors Regulation Authority thoroughly regulates our family law practice.

Family Law Team

Despite the fact that our divorce lawyers have a reputation for being skilled litigators, going to court can add needless time, money, and worry to a divorce or separation. We provide alternatives to going to court such as alternative dispute resolution, (mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law) which enable each couple to resolve disagreements and come to agreements on finances, any concerned children, 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 reach out to our network of family support specialists if necessary. This includes parenting support groups, coaches, and therapists. Be sure to contact us immediately for the best family legal advice in Newcastle.

  • Starting a divorce application in Newcastle

    You cannot begin divorce proceedings until you have been married for at least a year.

    To start, you need to submit an application to the court (Form D8) with a declaration that your marriage has broken down irretrievably.

    This is usually made online via a court portal (although you can make a paper application) and requires a payment of £593.

    You can apply for a divorce by yourself (sole applicant) or make a joint application with your ex-spouse (joint applicants).

    Alternatively, if you receive a divorce application from your spouse, you are called the respondent in the legal process.

    Getting this part right early is important in that it will help you to save time and money throughout your divorce process. As any family lawyer or family law solicitor will tell you, it can also make the entire process more amicable as you, and your partner, are clear from the start.

    Here at Stowe, our Newcastle family law solicitors will support you through the process and offer professional guidance and advice to make your divorce or civil partnership dissolution as quick and convenient as possible. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our local family firm today.

  • How long will my divorce in Newcastle take?

    The length of the divorce proceedings depends on a range of factors, including any financial issues, childcare concerns or other complexities.

    An experienced family lawyer from Stowe can offer advice to help you speed up the process, and expedite everything we can to get you through this difficult period of your life.

    Most divorces take around 6 – 9 months to complete, barring any serious complexities. If you’re looking for a quick divorce from Newcastle’s leading family law firm, don’t hesitate to get in touch today. From specialist family law advice to practical support throughout your divorce proceedings, the Stowe team are here for you.

  • Responding to a divorce application

    If you’ve been served with a divorce application in Newcastle it’s sometimes unclear as to how you should respond; you’ll be presented with a lot of legal wording and expressions that do more to create frustration than they do to provide clarity.

    Our Newcastle family law solicitors can help you to respond to a divorce application while preparing you to get the best possible outcome for you, and for your family.

    If you’re looking for a family law team in your local area, don’t hesitate to get in touch today. Our family law firm in Newcastle can help to guide you through one of the most difficult periods of your life in a calm, understanding manner.

  • Arrangements for children and child custody

    One of the most difficult steps in a separation or divorce is in working through the arrangements for your children (formerly known as child custody). While this is a challenging process, it is in the best interests of your children to reach a civil agreement with your ex-partner.

    To make sure you get the best result for you and your children, it often helps to have a child law specialist on-hand to provide you with guidance on what a fair and workable arrangement might look like.

    Our Newcastle child solicitors have extensive experience in child arrangement cases and have seen a variety of solutions to suit every situation, no matter how niche. The primary goal of our family law solicitors in Newcastle is to get the best outcome for your children and to help you to maintain a positive relationship with your ex-partner wherever possible.

  • Can I dissolve a civil partnership with Stowe Family Law in Newcastle?

    Ending a civil partnership takes a heavy emotional toll.

    Known as dissolution, the path to dissolving a civil partnership is very similar to the process of divorce.

    Dissolving a civil partnership can only be instigated after you’ve been in the partnership for a year.

    You will be entitled to all the same benefits and entitlements as those who get divorced, and in a similar vein, thought will need to be given to the sharing of assets and the arrangements for your children.

    To help you through the dissolution process, our civil partnership solicitors can provide practical guidance and support to help you to achieve your desired outcome.

    At Stowe Family Law in Newcastle, we can provide up-to-date legal advice to help you get through one of the most difficult periods of your life. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Stowe’s leading family lawyers in Newcastle.

    Yes, we are! Our Newcastle office is just a short walk from both Newcastle train station and the Tyne Bridge. Located at City Quadrant, our Newcastle family law office is in the perfect position for anyone living in Newcastle or the surrounding areas.

    While we can carry out most of our family law services without meeting you face to face, our office is open for appointments if you’d feel more comfortable.
