We work with clients at all stages of a divorce, from the decision to file for a divorce through the entry of the divorce judgment. A divorce can be accomplished with a joint petition, a negotiated settlement after the filing of a divorce complaint, mediation or trial. Our lawyers handle all matters related to or arising out of a divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, alimony, and the distribution of marital assets and debt. To learn more, see our divorce procedure, modification and mediation page.

Child Custody and Visitation/Parenting Plan

We will help you establish and implement legal and physical custody, whether you are seeking sole custody or shared custody. We also assist with the establishment of visitation/parenting schedules, that are in the best interests of your children, while protecting your right as a parent. For more information, see our custody, visitation and parenting plan page.

Child Support and Alimony

Our attorneys will work with you to ensure that your child support order is properly calculated under Massachusetts guidelines and that all income is fairly considered. Where appropriate, we will seek deviation from the state guidelines. We will also help you determine whether alimony is warranted and, if so, the amount, frequency and duration of payments. See our child support and alimony page for more information.

Marital Assets and Debts

We will help you structure a property settlement that fairly divides all assets and debts, including real property, investments, retirement plans and businesses. To learn more, visit our division of marital assets and debts page.

Wills and Probate Administration

Our attorneys will help you successfully settle the estate of a loved one in the Massachusetts probate court. We can also help you with end-of-life planning by preparing and executing wills and health care proxies. See our wills and probate of estates page to learn more.
