Zoe Carter
Team Leader Partner, South West & Wales
I specialise in Child Law matters acting regularly for both parents and grandparents with cases involving disputes relating to child arrangements such as where a child should live or who they should spend time with. I have represented parties where Children’s Services are involved and work closely with organisations supporting victims of domestic abuse to obtain orders to ensure their safety and safeguarding of children. I also advise on divorce and separation.

Zoe Carter: I wish I could clone Zoe and have her instruct me on every case. She works tirelessly on every single case she instructs me on. Her statements are exceptional and have often made all the difference.
Joanna Newton, Zoe Carter, Elizabeth Lacey, Georgina Nelson and Amy Langford were all noted as Key Lawyers.
Zoe has been so understanding and caring during such a stressful time not only in mine but in my children's lives too. Zoe took the stress and pressure away, she was so easy to talk to and explained every step of what was going on, if I didn't understand anything it was never to much trouble to talk it through. I was always kept fully informed. I would highly recommend Zoe and team. A massive thank you from myself & family.
Zoe and the team are true professions. An expert in her field, Zoe is trustworthy and understands the importance of clear and timely communications. The pandemic has not impacted the high quality of service, thank you.
My experience with Stowe family law has been a positive one. Miss Zoe Carter has shown great professionalism, knowledge and drive. Zoe has been there to support me and my family and provide a sympathetic ear and understanding whilst maintaining focus and clarity. I would encourage anyone wanting Solicitors who will listen, empathise and work with you to give Stowe Family Law a try. Many thanks to the whole team at Stowe Family Law who have displayed kindness and understanding during a very difficult time.
