    In England family work encompasses divorce and civil partnership dissolution, separation, financial remedy work, private and public children’s proceedings, adoption and surrogacy, non‑molestation and occupation orders, and related disputes between unmarried partners. A family solicitor drafts divorce petitions and Form E financial disclosure, negotiates and drafts consent orders and financial remedy proposals under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, applies for injunctions and occupation orders under the Family Law Act 1996, and represents clients in the Family Court and at hearings involving local authorities and children’s guardians under the Children Act 1989. Cases proceed under the Family Procedure Rules and, since the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, no‑fault divorce.

    “I am currently with your Solicitors going through a divorce, financial matters and child contact arrangements. This is such a hard time for me to go through but I would not be where I am without Helen, she is absolutely fantastic and a credit to your firm. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the situation to need a family Solicitor. Also dealing with my case is Helen's trainee Solicitor Rachael who again is brilliant and is a great support. But Helen, I honestly can't speak highly enough of her, she is amazing. Louise is always there at the end of the phone for me as many times as I call, she is always helpful.”

    “I would like to share my thanks to Beth Sheridan for her support with my initial consultation. There is lots of common misconception and false information when it comes to protecting your assets when relationships turn sour. At this time, you need a good listener who shows empathy and compassion but most importantly has a wealth of knowledge and experience, so that you feel comfortable discussing your situation. Beth helped me to understand the process of pursuing my case so that I could make an informed decision about the best course of action. Based on my experiences so far, I would absolutely recommend Beth and her team at Stowe Family Law.”

    “This case has been going on for 5+ years, initially starting with Ian Downing. I spoke with Ian Downing for advice in June 2017 a year before I was able to leave the marriage. He advised me that it could be a difficult case that may take some time. I am glad I could not see into the future to see how drawn out and difficult this would be! Gloria has worked tirelessly on both the Children and Finances and Divorce cases. I imagine the case might stick in her mind! I personally feel the case has been very complicated and drawn out by the other party! The negotiations have gone round and round in circles with many periods of stalemate with no information provided by the other side. Most of the time dealing with a litigant in person. The case has progressed though Covid, with online hearings happening through the lock-downs. This was challenging! Gloria has never given up and has ensured that all angles were completely covered. Her advice and guidance has always been clear. She has brought in the best professionals available to help with the case, whether that be a Barrister, GA Conveyancer or Financial Advisor to assist. Gloria has always gone above and beyond during this case. Joanne Horrell has worked tirelessly in the background of the case. I am very grateful to her. Solicitors/Trainee Solicitors, Becky, Cameron and Luke have assisted in the case throughout the years and have all been wonderful too. Gloria has been aware on many occasions that I have not felt able to continue the fight as I have been mentally exhausted. She has such a personable and calm approach and has been able to encourage, remind and guide me in a professional manner. I cannot express my gratitude enough, to Gloria and her team.”
