If you are looking to get divorced or separated

Our solicitors understand what you are going through including the challenges and emotions involved. They also understand how to overcome those hurdles and guide you through the entire process with the best possible legal counsel, and by connecting you to our extensive network of support professionals and resources – helping you to move on and rebuild.

We will start by listening to your unique circumstances before explaining the options available to you and the pros and cons of each. You may for instance be looking to apply for divorce, in which case you will be known as ‘the Applicant’ once the application has been received by the divorce centre. If your spouse applies first, you will be known as ‘the Respondent’. Specific and distinct actions are required at different times by the Petitioner and the Respondent. Your divorce lawyer will explain what these are and what routes are available to you and the advantages of each. Next, we will take a look at some prime examples that apply to many clients and how we can help.

What our clients say

Gareth Curtis has been representing me for the last 13 months in a very challenging divorce. At my very first meeting with Gareth, I was immediately put at ease and felt confident that he would achieve the best outcome for me. Gareth has great attention to detail, is very responsive, caring, understanding and remains calm and professional at all times. I would highly recommend Gareth if you are looking for a divorce lawyer who will guide you through the process with ease, whilst fighting for the best outcome. You really are in good hands with Gareth.
Client: Ms C
As you know, I am a private person and find it quite hard to talk about something as personal as my relationship and children. You have dealt with the most personal aspect of my life with professionalism and empathy. Thank you, I am so pleased to have had you on my side.
Client: Mr W
Although the firm has a national presence, the team retains a 'local' feel.
Client: Legal 500
Although I was going through a tough time, as I’m sure all people going through divorces are, Gareth Curtis and his team helped take both the emotional and practical strain from me. I was more than satisfied with the end result and would highly recommend Gareth for his expertise and his calming personable manner.
Client: Mark Leeming
Michael was approachable, professional and polite. He listened to me, understood exactly what I wanted to achieve and gave me sound, intelligent advice in plain English. I am delighted to recommend the service and support I received. From my initial enquiry to final resolution I was treated with consideration and courtesy.
Client: Anon
Kaleel was exceptional from start to finish. He put me at ease straight away. He has been incredibly attentive to everything I discussed with him throughout the process. I have already recommended him and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.
Client: Ms G
I came across Stowe during a specific search online and I am so glad I found them. Once my background case had been assessed, Gareth Curtis was recommended to me as the best placed for my needs. Gareth has been so empathetic, supporting and preemptive of outcomes before they happened which I have to say helped me to understand the process very well and take some comfort in his knowledge. Stowe were also able to provide in house forensic accounting and recommend to me a very well suited Barrister and other experts that I have needed to call upon. I am happy with the outcome they achieved for me. There is no shadow of doubt that I would highly recommend using Stowe, they will be there every step of the way to ensure you are looked after and receive the best possible advice available. Thank you.
Client: Mrs B
I can’t thank you [both] enough for all the work you have done on my file during this difficult period.

  • Appointing the best solicitor for your situation

    While our family solicitors are knowledgeable and experienced in all family law matters.  Some of them have been involved in cases with unique elements or case law that could be more relevant to your situation. For example some of our family law solicitors have a very strong focus on child law including special guardianship orders, international child abduction and Hague Convention. Some of our solicitors have dealt in matters with cryptocurrency elements and offshore trusts. Others are specialists in assisting professional sports people or families with farming and agricultural businesses.

    Because this law firm specialises in divorce and separation, and with so many family solicitors across the country, your solicitor has an unrivalled support network to tap into if needed.

  • How long will your divorce 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.
