Compassionate Child Custody & Family Law Expertise in Newcastle 

We advise on all aspects of child law, including everyday decisions about custody and contact, setting up child maintenance, and helping grandparents stay involved in their grandchildren’s lives. 

Where possible, we encourage parents to use constructive options such as family mediation to reach an agreement. But, when disputes cannot be resolved, we have the expertise to apply for and secure the right court orders, such as child arrangement orders or clean break orders, to protect your children’s welfare. 

We also act in more complex cases, including international relocation disputes and matters that overlap with the Court of Protection when vulnerable children are involved. With experience representing families at Newcastle Family Court and across the North East, our team will guide you with sensitivity and strength. 

If you need clear advice on custody, arrangements, or your children’s rights, speak to our Newcastle child law solicitors today. 

Meet Our Family Lawyers in Newcastle 

Regional Director Rachel Roberts and Managing Partner Chris Birch bring over 30 years of combined experience in family law. Under their guidance, we provide accurate, empathetic legal advice in Newcastle, blending deep knowledge of family law with a genuine concern for our clients. To avoid protracted processes, we may 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.

At Stowe Family Law in Newcastle, we specialise in resolving financial matters during divorce and separation — from everyday settlements to high-net-worth and complex cases. Our solicitors work alongside Stowe’s in-house accountancy team to ensure every asset is identified, valued and protected. 

We advise on pensions, property, business assets, investments, and full financial disclosure, as well as spousal maintenance and tax considerations. By combining legal expertise with accounting insight, we provide clear strategies for securing fair and lasting settlements. 

Our goal is simple: to protect your financial future and ensure that any agreement supports both you and your children’s wellbeing. 

Why Work With Our Divorce Solicitors in Newcastle? 

Our family law solicitors in Newcastle provide a truly personal service during divorce and separation. We offer clear, practical advice that makes sense, explaining every step of the process and the strategies we can use to protect your interests. 

We aim to resolve matters with as little stress and delay as possible — whether that means securing a financial settlement, agreeing child arrangements, or exploring out-of-court solutions. 

We are based in Newcastle city centre and regularly support families not only in the city but also in nearby areas such as Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and South Shields.. Many of our clients have cases heard at Newcastle Family Court, where our local knowledge and national recognition help them feel confident about the process. 

If your case involves complex finances, pensions, or business assets, contact Stowe Family Law in Newcastle today for an initial consultation. 

Our team across our North East offices in Durham, Newcastle, North Shields and Sunderland specialise in all aspects of family law. We offer services in divorce, child custody, financial and child arrangements, and fertility law.
