At Stowe Family Law in Newcastle, our experienced family law solicitors are dedicated to providing sensitive legal services to support you during this challenging time. With extensive expertise in all aspects of family law, our team focuses on resolving complex financial issues and safeguarding the welfare of children during divorce or separation.

We serve a diverse range of families across Newcastle and the North East, including working parents, stay-at-home parents, and families with significant wealth and assets. Our clients trust us for specialised legal support that is both compassionate and comprehensive.

Expert Leadership

Under the leadership of Partner Nicky Hunter, our Newcastle team combines sharp legal expertise with empathy and client care to provide the most accurate legal advice. We strive to avoid lengthy legal processes by encouraging out-of-court settlements. However, we also understand that litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair outcome. With extensive litigation experience, we are fully equipped to guide you through even the most challenging situations.

On Your Side 

As a local family law firm, we customise our strategies and legal advice to meet the specific needs of each client, supporting you through the practical, emotional, and legal aspects of divorce and separation. Our family law practice is also fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, ensuring the highest standards of service.

While our divorce lawyers are known for their litigation skills, we recognise that going to court can often lead to unnecessary time, expense, and stress. We offer alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law, allowing couples to resolve disputes and reach agreements on financial matters, child arrangements, and other family issues without going to court.

Protecting Your Financial Position 

To achieve the best possible financial settlement, our in-house accounting team at Stowe Family Law provides a clear understanding of the assets involved in your marriage. We are highly skilled in areas such as tax, property, appraisals, accounting, and pensions, ensuring comprehensive financial protection throughout the divorce process.
