Pre and postnuptial agreements
Whether you’re considering a prenuptial agreement before marriage or a postnuptial agreement afterwards, our solicitors can help. These agreements encourage open conversations about finances and future expectations, helping couples get clarity from the start. Documenting arrangements clearly can also help reduce the risk of disputes later on.

Finances
Bethan Cooper often deals with cases involving complex financial matters amid divorce or separation. Financial settlements are often one of the most significant aspects of a divorce or separation. From understanding the value of assets to considering future financial needs, our team provides clear advice to help clients make informed decisions. We also work alongside Stowe’s in-house accounting specialists when additional financial expertise is required.

Children’s solicitors
Our children’s law solicitors help clients with cases including child maintenance, custody issues, and rights for grandparents. We recognise that arrangements often need to adapt as children grow older and family circumstances change. Our team works closely with parents and family members to find practical solutions that support stability and prioritise the welfare of the child.
Child law solicitors
Fertility law
Growing a family can raise complex legal questions, particularly as fertility law continues to evolve. Whether you’re considering surrogacy, donor conception or assisted reproduction, specialist advice can help clarify important issues around legal parenthood and parental responsibility. Our team provides support throughout the process, helping clients understand the legal considerations involved.

Cohabitation agreements
Many couples are unaware that living together does not provide the same legal protections as marriage or a civil partnership. A cohabitation agreement can help clarify how finances, property and shared responsibilities will be managed throughout the relationship. Putting arrangements in place early can help avoid misunderstandings and provide greater certainty for both parties.
Cohabitation lawyers
Domestic abuse support
Megan Durkin frequently deals with domestic abuse cases, supporting and guiding survivors through the process with empathy. If you’re experiencing domestic abuse, obtaining specialist legal advice can be an important first step. Our Stockport solicitors provide compassionate and confidential support, helping clients understand the legal protections available to them. We offer practical guidance throughout the process, ensuring you understand your options at every stage.

How long can I expect my Stockport divorce to take?
There is no specific time that a divorce takes – this is due to the differing complexities of each case. For example, if you need to agree on child arrangements or settle financial matters, this can extend your divorce proceedings.
On average, a divorce takes between 6-8 months, but for a more accurate idea for your specific circumstances, get in contact with our divorce lawyers. They’ll listen to your situation and provide a more tailored timeframe.
-
Is there an estimated price for how much my divorce will cost me?
The price of each divorce depends on the complications related to each couple, so there isn’t an exact price for divorces.
However, there are some set costs included in every divorce, including the court fee, which is currently £612. Your solicitors’ fees are also part of every divorce.
-
How long is my divorce 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.
