Sarah Peters, one of our Southgate divorce solicitors, has years of experience helping couples through their separation – even civil partnership dissolution.
Whatever’s brought you to this point, we’ll help you find the right way through it. That might mean a straightforward no-fault divorce or the certainty of a fixed-fee service. For clients with significant wealth and assets to protect, we also handle high net worth divorce, and if you’d rather stay out of court altogether, we can guide you through mediation, collaborative law or arbitration instead.
Whether you require a prenuptial contract or a postnuptial agreement, our solicitors can help keep your possessions safe. Partner Sophia Leeder has extensive experience drafting prenuptial agreements for clients with significant personal and business wealth.
Prenuptial agreement solicitors
Regional Director of our Southgate law office, Phoebe Turner successfully deals with clients dividing finances amid a divorce.
We can help you reach a fair financial settlement, make sure any pensions are valued and shared correctly, and protect or divide business assets and company shares where a family business is involved. Where you and your ex-partner were never married, we can also help resolve TOLATA property disputes, or agree fair, ongoing spousal maintenance where it’s needed.
Senior Associate Laura Williams handles a wide range of children’s law cases, negotiating arrangements for children, contact issues and other disputes while keeping their welfare front and centre.
We can help with child arrangement orders and clarifying parental responsibility, as well as special guardianship and child maintenance where they’re needed. We also support families through relocation and international children matters, and help grandparent’s maintain contact with their grandchildren.
Our family law solicitors in Southgate understand the complexity of growing a family, so you can trust our fertility lawyers to help you. Team Leader Partner Shivi Rajput has particular expertise in surrogacy and modern family law.

Our cohabitation solicitors can draft a comprehensive living together agreement to ensure you have the rights you deserve. Partner Ciara Pugh has particular expertise in cohabitee financial provision, so you’re in safe hands with us.
We can also help resolve TOLATA property disputes if you disagree over a jointly, or unequally, owned home, untangle finances and living arrangements if you separate, and put parenting agreements in writing if you have children together.

If you’re travelling in by mainline rail, New Southgate station is the closest National Rail option, about a mile and a half away, with a short taxi or bus ride to finish the journey.

Our expert team of family law solicitors are committed to achieving successful outcomes in resolving financial disputes and securing suitable divorce settlements. The solicitors work closely with our in-house forensic accountancy team to ensure that you receive the best possible representation and financial outcome.
We understand that financial issues can be particularly contentious in divorce cases, but we are skilled at providing expert guidance to help protect your wealth and financial future. With our support, you can have confidence that your financial well-being is in good hands.
The overall cost of a divorce will depend on the specific issues involved. Once your solicitor understands your situation, they can provide an estimated cost at the outset. Matters such as financial settlements, property division, or child arrangements will require more time and affect the total cost. Further information is available in our guide to divorce costs, and we provide more detail in our guide to family law fees. We also offer a fixed-fee divorce service for straightforward divorces.
If your family law matter requires a hearing, you will attend Edmonton county court and family court, located at 59 Fore Street, N18 2TN in Upper Edmonton. The court is a 5–10 minute walk from Silver street overground station along Fore street, close to Edmonton Green shopping centre and Edmonton Green library. If you arrive early, there are cafés nearby such as Starbucks and Costa Coffee in Edmonton Green and independent café Le Delice on Fore Street.
From our Southgate office at The Grange, the court is approximately a 15–20 minute drive via the A10 towards Edmonton Green and Fore Street. If driving, follow signs for Edmonton Green town centre, with parking available at Edmonton Green Shopping Centre Car Park, which is a short walk from the court.
“The firm benefits from having an in-house forensic accountancy support for the really complex financial cases.”From tracking international assets to making complex financial structures understandable, no matter your circumstances, our team can help.
Absolutely. We work with clients who are on both sides of the divorce process. So, no matter if you’ve been asked to respond to a divorce application or if you’re the one starting the process, we can help.
Whatever side of the process you’re on, divorce is undoubtedly an extremely stressful and emotional time. Our lawyers in Southgate have been helping families for over 50 years, meaning we have the skills and experience to guide you through the process with ease.
We’ll be in your corner from the start, talking in terms you understand so that you feel comfortable in the decisions you’re making regarding your future. That way, you have everything you need for life after divorce.
It’s no secret that every marriage is unique, and with that comes a couple’s financial ties. This can make negotiating a divorce settlement extremely difficult, which is why having one of Stowe’s expert financial solicitors in your corner can be beneficial.
Our team has years of experience in this area and will cover a range of assets. For example, pensions, property, assets you have abroad, investments, as well as pre-marital assets.
We’ve worked with clients from all backgrounds, including high-net-worth individuals, so no matter your circumstances, we can help. We’ll ensure you have everything you need for a successful future for you and your loved ones.
Yes, we can. Court isn’t always the best solution for every family, and we know that. Here at Stowe Family Law, we strive to provide tailored solutions for your circumstances, and sometimes a non-confrontational resolution is that solution.
This is why we provide our clients in Southgate and beyond with a range of alternative routes, such as mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law. Not only is this usually less money but also creates a far more amicable relationship within the family.
We recognise that understanding the differences between them all can be tricky, so why not reach out to our team, who will listen to your circumstances and be able to recommend accordingly?
Currently, the law does not recognise or entitle unmarried couples to the same rights as those who are married. Therefore, if you are considering a living together agreement (also known as a cohabitation agreement), we highly recommend it.
Our Southgate lawyers will listen to your circumstances and ensure your agreement covers everything you need. From the dividing of bills, joint assets, and even how much you will both contribute, we can help you get the rights you deserve.
Stowe Family Law has been helping families across the UK for more than 50 years. As experts in all aspects of family law, we have specialist knowledge to guide you through the process with ease.
However, having the skills is just half of our appeal. We also recognise just how difficult this time can be for you and your loved ones, which is why we provide unwavering support from the very beginning.
We’re even recognised by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, so you’re in safe hands with our Southgate solicitors. Book your free callback today.
