    Trial separation refers to a period when a couple live apart while they assess their relationship and potential next steps, including possible divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. In England, a solicitor helps clients understand how such a period can affect finances, housing, and parenting arrangements, and may draft or review interim agreements. A solicitor provides guidance on what to document, what disclosures may be needed, and how to protect each party’s position during this interim phase.

    “Worrying about trying to find the right Family a law firm, to help with my separation was overwhelming. However, once I called Poole Alcock, I was immediately realised I had made the right choice. I was immediately made to feel welcome and my situation was listened to. After taking all of my details, I was quickly transferred to a solicitor who listened and understood my position. Fully describing the process, we agreed on the next steps.

    “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! ”

    “I would very strongly recommend Stowe Family Law. I have used Stowe for various legal proceedings for children’s and family finance related cases and they have been excellent. Throughout litigation, I have dealt with many members of staff at Stowe and they have all been extremely helpful and competent. I instructed Orla O’Connor for the legal proceedings. Orla is incredibly knowledgable and thorough, offering sound advice and managing my case, which was particularly challenging at times, very professionally. Orla was able to achieve my desired outcome at the final hearing and conclusion of my child order application. I cannot recommend Orla (and Stowe) highly enough !”
