Family law solicitors & divorce lawyers Newbury

Whether you’re looking to divorce your partner, or you’re responding to a divorce application made by your spouse, you’ll be looking for expert help and support.

The divorce process can be difficult to navigate, and for many, it can instil a sense of anxiety and confusion; which is why we take great care to outline the emotional, practical and legal challenges that lie ahead whilst providing practical next steps so that you can move forward to achieve the outcome you need.

We can provide guidance on completing the divorce application, through to negotiating financial settlements and child custody (child arrangement orders).

Our family law solicitors have worked with couples across Berkshire who have opted to cohabit rather than marry.

At the moment, the law does not provide the same protections to unmarried couples as it does to married couples – where the ‘common-law partner’ is actually a myth. This can lead to difficult challenges later should you decide to separate. At Stowe Family Law, we have cohabitation lawyers on hand to provide guidance on how you can legally protect yourselves, often preparing a cohabitation agreement that will outline what should happen when a joint property is sold, how bills should be divided, and how each partner will contribute, and much more.

Whether you’re looking to move in together, or if you’re just looking for peace of mind on the handling of your joint assets, we can help. For more information on our support for cohabiting couples, read through our cohabitation guide.

We understand that trying to separate years of financial ties during a divorce or separation is never easy. You need to make sure you cover everything, including any property, pensions, investments, international assets, assets you had before you were married. Therefore, having an expert by your side can be beneficial.  

Our Newbury team has helped numerous couples in Newbury with their financial settlements. Our years of experience ensures we left no stone unturned, meaning you’ll have everything you need for your new life after divorce. With experience in complex financial situations as well as high-net-worth individuals, you can trust us for your settlement.
