Stoke-on-Trent: Achieving financial stability after divorce

How our lawyers helped

The client spoke to Heather Arnold, who offered straightforward, practical advice about the options available. This included keeping the family home in a divorce and preserving their respective pension arrangements. Heather wrote to the client’s former husband, which prompted him to get legal advice of his own.

During negotiations, the ex-husband put forward a counteroffer that would have meant a larger financial share. Heather Arnold talked to the client and suggested that they work towards a balanced middle ground. By doing so, they would avoid unnecessary conflict and delay. This pragmatic approach worked, and the consent order was sent for court approval.

Balanced outcome protects clients’ interests

During the court approval process, the ex-husband’s solicitor made an administrative error. Heather was there to take quick action to help resolve the issue. This meant the case could be finalised.

With our help, a fair and balanced outcome was achieved. Our client was able to keep the family home, which helped provide stability for both her and her children. She was also able to retain her pension.

Following the case, the client commented:

“I could not have asked for a better family law firm. Heather Arnold was recommended to me by a friend, and I completely understand why. She handled my case with professionalism, care, and compassion, making what could have been a very stressful and drawn-out process feel far more manageable. Throughout, she made me feel genuinely supported and as though my case truly mattered.

“Even during periods when she was on annual leave, Heather took the time to reassure me that my case was still being carefully handled by her colleagues at Stowe Family Law. This level of dedication and kindness made a real difference and gave me great peace of mind. If you ever find yourself in need of a solicitor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Heather Arnold and Stowe Family Law.”
