Family law solicitors & divorce lawyers Sheffield

As the UK’s largest team of dedicated family solicitors, divorce is our bread and butter. We’ve helped numerous couples in Sheffield through their divorce with ease. It doesn’t matter if you’re the respondent or the one initiating the application – we can help on all sides.  

We understand that this is an intensely emotional and stressful time, but our lawyers are here to guide you through the process in terms that make sense to you. Sometimes, divorce isn’t as simple as it sounds, and we know this. With years of experience in complex cases, we can also aid with subsequent legal matters that arise during divorce, like financial settlements and child arrangement orders. This way, you feel confident in the decisions you’re making for your life post-divorce. 

No matter your circumstances, the Stowe Family Law team will be by your side.  

Applying for a divorce application signifies the beginning of your divorce proceedings. There are two ways you can apply for this – alongside your ex-spouse as joint applicants or, if you’d prefer, as a sole applicant.  

Our Sheffield divorce lawyers always recommend that you and your ex figure this out early to prevent any delays and any further costs along the way.  

We understand that trying to ensure that this is already an overwhelming time for you without having the application deadlines on top of it. Why don’t you get in touch with us and leave the hassle to our experts? They’ll support and guide you through your application, so it’s one less thing for you to stress about. 

We’ve had numerous Sheffield clients come to us in a panic that they’ve been asked to respond to a divorce application and they don’t know what it means or what to do. If you’re in this situation, our expert team is here to help.  

We understand that this is a scary time, but not with us. We’ll listen to your circumstances and walk you through the responsibilities of responding to a divorce application. There’s a lot of legal jargon, but we can put it in terms you understand to allow you to feel comfortable and confident in your decisions.  

When organising child arrangements (formerly known as child custody) with your ex-partner, emotions can be high. You want your kids to stay with you, so you always know they’re happy and safe. But your ex feels the same way. 

Whenever our Sheffield children’s solicitors are working on child arrangements, we always strive to ensure that the children are the priority. We find an arrangement that works for the whole family – not just the parents.  

We recognise that these situations can become complex, but that doesn’t scare us. We’ve got years of experience in child arrangement order cases, meaning we’ve worked on a multitude of complexities and complications. Whatever your situation, we’re here to help. 

A solicitor isn’t always required when organising the settlement for your divorce. However, they can be hugely beneficial.  

For example, it’s no secret that any marriage comes with years of financial ties – whether it’s the family home, investments, or pensions. Therefore, trying to untangle this can be incredibly difficult and emotional. So, having an expert by your side really can make all the difference.  

We’ll cover all of your assets (even the ones you had before you were married), so you have everything you need to move forward once your divorce is complete. Our Sheffield team has helped clients from all backgrounds, including high-net-worth individuals with assets abroad. Reach out to our lawyers to find out more. 

We recognise that taking the decision to end a civil partnership is not an easy one. Especially when you consider that many people actually do not know what this looks like.  

To be able to dissolve your civil partnership, you must have been in it for at least 12 months. Once here, you will be able to receive the same entitlements as couples who divorce. If you’re not sure where to begin, you don’t have to do it alone. The Stowe Family Law team is here to guide you through the process. Sometimes, dissolving a civil partnership also comes with further challenges, like financial settlements and child arrangements – we can help with that too.  

Let us take the strain, so you can get back to what really matters. 

With so many law firms out there, it can be hard to know which is the right one for your needs.
