"Going to see a solicitor for the first time is a daunting prospect," says Anthony Jones, Senior Solicitor in the Wilmslow office. "My advice is to be clear about why you are getting divorced and whether your spouse will be cooperative or combatative. That way we can work out the best way to move forward. There are lots of possibilities, ranging from traditional lawyer-assisted divorce to 'DIY divorce, mediation to collaborative divorce. Our discussions will help us chose a legal approach that's practical and financially viable for you."
"As well as preparing yourself emotionally for that initial visit, it's essential that you prepare on a practical level," says Anthony. "Get you paperwork in good order so you can bring it with you. That includes everything from your marriage certificate, financial details including joint bank accounts, investments and property, information about your children and about your spouse. Getting the paperwork straight right at the start will help us to protect your interests and that's our main priority.
"It's important to understand the financial implications of the option you chose. Stowe Family Law offer a free 30 minute 'clinic' to new clients and once we've had that discussion we can be clear about likely costs going forward depending on the complexity of your circumstances. It's also important to be clear what your financial needs are in the short and longer term, so that you can keep things on an even keel during the divorce process and while you are waiting for a final settlement to come though. Stowe Family Law solicitors have been through this process many times, and while it's all new to you, we are there to provide legal expertise so that you can concentrate on getting your life back under your control."
