Yes, we can. Whether you’re the one hoping to divorce your partner or you’ve been asked to respond to a divorce, our experts are here to support you. We understand that understanding the divorce process during an incredibly stressful time can be difficult, but we’ll be by your side to guide you through the process with ease.
To initiate getting divorced, you need to get a divorce application. There are two ways to do this – either as a sole applicant or with your ex-partner as joint applicants. Where possible, it’s best to get this figured out early to prevent delays and additional costs further down the line.
You’ll be asked to ‘respond’ to a divorce application if your ex-spouse has begun the process. To respond, you must confirm you’ve received and whether or not you agree to the terms stated.
We recognise that this is a lot of technical jargon to understand, but that’s where we come in. Our Plymouth divorce lawyers have guided numerous clients through the process in terms that make sense to them. We’re here to explain the legal terms whilst also supporting you through this process.
Absolutely! Creating a child arrangement order (previously known as child custody) can be very emotional, and sometimes egos get in the way of what is best for your children. Our child law specialists have helped many Plymouth families create arrangements that work for the whole family.
We know that no two families are the same, and there are complications in every case, so no matter the complexity of your family, we can help.
Attempting to untangle the years of financial ties in a financial divorce settlement can be long and complicated. So, although it’s not essential, having an expert by your side can be extremely beneficial.
Our Plymouth team has years of experience in this area, so you’re in safe hands with us. We’ll cover a wide range of assets – even including ones prior to your marriage! With no stone left unturned, we can aid in even the most complex of cases.
Yes! We understand that separation comes in many forms, which is why we have a dedicated team of civil partnership dissolution lawyers. The concept of divorce is well known – dissolving a civil partnership less so.

With financial settlements and child arrangement orders also in our remit, you’ll have everything sorted with Stowe Family Law.
