This area covers how the former couple stabilises money for children and, sometimes, for a former partner after separation. A solicitor helps clients apply for, review, or enforce child maintenance payments, and can advise on consent orders, parentage, and timing. They handle calculations, collect and check income information, and liaise with the Child Maintenance Service and other agencies. The aim is to secure regular payments and resolve disputes efficiently through courts or agreed settlements.
Maintenance decisions can be time‑sensitive and affect a child’s living standards and a party’s financial position. A solicitor offers guidance on deadlines, the consequences of non-payment, and the steps to enforce or modify orders, including court action, variation applications, and enforcement measures. They maintain records, ensure compliance with schemes, and protect a client’s rights through properly documented procedures.

Tagged solicitor Emily Spencer
Emily was great. She explained the will writing process and the Power of Attorney in a clear and easily understandable way. She kept us appraised of progress at each stage and arranged meetings at suitable times. She was very personable and made us feel at ease during the process. Emily outlined how things would progress and everything followed the outline. We were very happy with both her and Winston's and would be happy to use them again or recommend them to friends.

Tagged solicitor Nicola Rushton
I was half way through a very difficult divorce when I found Forbes Solicitors. I found my previous solicitor to be unsupportive and felt that she wasn’t interested in exploring my situation and was allowing the other party to dictate all the terms. When I first spoke to Karen(Paralegal) about moving my case to Forbes I was immediately put at ease. I then had a meeting with Nicola(solicitor). She was very helpful and knowledgeable and I felt that at last I had someone willing to explore all possibilities.She made suggestions about information that I needed to gather to support my case as I am now a lone carer for my disabled son and would have been put in an impossible situation if as my previous solicitor had said the court would probably decide that all the assets would have to be split equally. I ended up with a good result and will now be able to continue caring for my son without struggling. Throughout the process Karen and Nicola were totally brilliant. Anne the secretary was also great! They were always easy to contact and responded very quickly to my questions. I felt totally supported and safe in their hands and will always be grateful for their support during the most difficult period in my life.

Tagged solicitor Jen Law
We were very fortunate to have been advised and represented by Jen during a recent case. Undoubtedly without Jen the outcome would have been less positive. We were constantly informed and updated of our situation during the whole process. You could clearly see Jen was respected greatly from the other legal professionals and this provided a great deal of confidence to us as well as a calming influence that is sometimes needed during such delicate discussions and negotiations. We ultimately received the best possible outcome with our case and cannot thank Jen enough. Jen is Tenacious but at the same time a calming influence. We always felt looked after is how i would best describe our experience. Ultimately the most professional service we could have hoped for!

Tagged solicitor Kate Bouwmeester
I had to change my solicitors, that's why I met Kate Bouwmeester at Stowe Family Law. I wish I had her as my solicitor from the very beginning. My financial matter was handled by Kate. Also, she gave me advice on children matters. Kate understood what my expectations were and honestly handled the matter cost-effectively. Kate had been brilliant when it came to clarity and details. She was quick with responses. I would highly recommend Kate Bouwmeester if you are looking for a solicitor for your marital conflict. Unlike some other solicitors, Kate Bouwmeester is able to advise on all matters - divorce, finances and children. I believe that these three matters are linked to one another and having one solicitor, rather than two, for all these matters is more efficient and cheaper. Thank you Kate for helping me.
