Family Law Services
We handle numerous family law matters, including:
- Divorce: We can offer representation and guidance to address all aspects of an uncontested or contested divorce.
- Custody: Whether married or unmarried, our office can help you assert your rights to have access to your children.
- Paternity: In order to maximize financial and emotional support for your children, it is important that both parents are identified and confirmed.
- Child support: Children are entitled to be financially supported by both parents. Our experienced advocates can help you pursue the proper amount of support.
- Alimony: We are knowledgeable about relevant laws regarding alimony in Massachusetts.
- Guardianship of a minor: Sometimes, questions about a parent’s fitness are brought to the attention of the court by a relative or the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. Our attorneys know how to advocate for a guardianship when it’s necessary to protect children, and how to defend against allegations that put a parent’s right to raise their child at risk.
- Contempt: When a court order or judgment is not followed, you may need to seek enforcement of your rights to custody, parenting time, or child support.
- Modification: Life is not static, and the court understands that orders and judgments may need to change to keep things fair.
