Family law solicitors & divorce lawyers Warrington

At Stowe Family Law, we recognise the bravery it takes to ask for legal assistance. You’re likely feeling incredibly stressed, emotional, and overwhelmed about what the right next step is. Thankfully, our team is here to help you. 

When you first reach out to our team, you’ll have an initial consultation with the Client Care team. They’ll listen to your circumstances and match you to the right lawyer for your needs. We’ll be by your side from the very start to answer any concerns you may have and ensure you have the support you and your loved ones need during this time. 

We’ve been helping families in Warrington and the rest of the UK for over 50 years. As we specialise in family law, it means we’re experts in the sector, so you can trust that we have what it takes to help you succeed. 

No matter your family law needs, we can help. 

If you have a straightforward divorce, you can expect it to take between 6-8 months. However, most of our clients have complicating factors which can extend the length of their divorce, such as child arrangement orders and negotiating a divorce settlement. 

Our Warrington divorce lawyers have years of experience, so will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate of how long your divorce will take to complete. 

As you can imagine, the cost of divorce is unique to each couple – much like their marriage. The cost of the court fee is set at £612, which is paid for by the person applying for the divorce (if you’re joint applicants, it’s applicant 1).  

You will also have your solicitors’ fees on top of this, and if you take longer with negotiations, this can also impact the price. 

When it comes to deciding which parent children should live with, the courts take into account the family’s wishes, the child’s wishes, and the suitability of the parents. The judge can decide sole custody, joint custody, and potentially even third-party custody if they feel the grandparents should be involved. 

We understand that agreeing on a child arrangement order (previously known as child custody) is incredibly difficult. It’s an emotional time for the whole family, but we’re here to support you.  

The courts prioritise fairness above all, so where possible, things are usually split 50:50. However, sometimes that doesn’t make things fair due to the amount of other assets each individual has.
