Hewitts has assembled one of the most experienced family law teams in the North East, offering friendly, clear and expert advice across a wide range of family law matters. We understand that the issues arising from a relationship breakdown can be stressful, overwhelming and daunting, and we are here to support you throughout.

The specialists within our family team bring a wealth of collective experience. Our Private Law Family Team includes members of the Law Society Family Law Panel and Resolution-accredited family solicitors, reflecting the high standards of expertise and professionalism we provide.

Family law services

We offer expert advice and representation on a broad range of family law matters, including:

  • Divorce and financial arrangements
  • Child arrangements
  • Agreements for couples who are living together or planning to marry
  • Protection in respect of domestic abuse

A constructive approach to resolving disputes

Some members of our Private Law Family Team are collaboratively trained, allowing us to offer an alternative way to resolve family disputes where appropriate. Collaborative law is designed to help separating couples reach agreement in a constructive, non-adversarial way, while avoiding court proceedings wherever possible. This approach enables you to remain in control of decisions that affect your future.

We also recognise that family breakdown is an intensely personal and sensitive experience. Our family solicitors take a compassionate, empathetic and supportive approach, helping you navigate both the legal and emotional challenges you may be facing.

Support when you need it most

Whether you are facing a difficult decision or taking the first step towards change, our family law solicitors are here to provide experienced, practical advice. We offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your situation, explain the next steps and help you understand your options clearly.

Our team is here to listen, guide and support you every step of the way. If you require further advice or assistance, please contact our offices – we are here to help.
