I would 100% recommend Tamara she’s a wonderful woman who’s kind, polite, friendly and always makes sure she will do her best for you 100% I have no doubt about that. After a few months I’ve had time to have my daughter sleep over at my house every other weekend for 2 nights got to spend Christmas Day with her for the first time and New Year’s Eve and day with her too and looking at holidays for the future and I couldn’t be happier to be able to do this so I want to say a massive thank you to the wonderful Tamara Adam’s!
Going through my divorce was one of the most tiring, emotional and stressful times of my life but I have never doubted Tamara Adams one bit to get me through this. They have been nothing but absolutely professional all the way throughout this process and were always on hand to assist me with any questions and worries I had.
Emily helped me so much with my family case. She always kept me up to date with what was going on and was very professional and empathetic to my situation. I would highly recommend Stowe family law from my experience
Although the firm has a national presence, the team retains a 'local' feel.
Nothing but outstanding from Tamara.

Achieving the best outcome for you
Taking the first step in asking for legal assistance is often hardest. Family matters such as separation, child custody and maintenance are very serious and the approach you take and decisions you make now are likely to affect your life for years to come.
The first time you meet your divorce lawyer, they will focus on understanding your situation including: family structure and finances, separation circumstances and desired outcomes. You will then be advised on the legal processes and routes and options available to help you achieve those outcomes.
Apart from giving you direction, we aim for every client to walk away from the initial appointment with a clear plan and feeling calmer and confident, whether it be a separation, divorce, child or financial matter, or all of the above. This approach will increase your chances of achieving your goals and avoiding delays in the divorce process.
The first appointment is also an opportunity for you to decide if you want to entrust your case to us and the divorce solicitor giving you that initial advice.
-
Starting the divorce process
The person initiating the divorce submits a divorce application to the court and is thereafter known as the Applicant. If your ex-partner has already done that, then you will be referred to as the Respondent. The divorce process requires different actions of Applicants and Respondents at different times, and there are strategic implications for both, especially if one of you lives overseas.
-
How long your divorce is likely to 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.
-
How much your divorce is likely to cost
The cost of a divorce includes the court fee (currently £593) and the costs of the solicitors who assist the parties with the divorce process if they are instructed.
The person applying for the divorce (the applicant) will be responsible for covering the court fee. If the application is a joint one, applicant 1 will pay the court fee.
It is important to note that costs relating to the divorce are different from those incurred in negotiating a financial settlement and/or child arrangements.
-
Who gets the children in a divorce
Child arrangements depend largely on what the family decides, the suitability of each parent, the child’s wishes and where applicable, the ruling of a family court Judge. Resulting arrangements can include sole custody, where one parent is the sole caretaker of the child, joint custody and third-party custody where a third party such as a grandparent becomes responsible for the child’s welfare.
-
Your entitlement to the family home
As a starting point in a divorce, assets are split 50:50. As the family home is often the largest asset in the matrimonial pot, then it is common for it to be split between the parties. If a family has other assets, then the house could be given to one party and the other assets to the other. Children are another factor that affects financial arrangements during a divorce. To answer this question accurately, a comprehensive understanding will be required of your family finances.
