Family Law & Domestic Relations

Domestic Relations

In our society, divorce and custody disputes have become all too common. Family law is a specialized area of law requiring specific training in negotiation, litigation, taxation, property and business valuation and the various rules and procedures of the Massachusetts family law court system.

We assist clients in all aspects of Family Law and Domestic Relations, including, but not limited to:

• Divorce and Legal Separation
• Child Custody and Visitation
• Child Support and Spousal Support
• Domestic Partnerships and Non-Marital Cohabitation Agreements
• Restraining Orders
• Paternity
• Adoption
• Grandparent's Rights
• Prenuptial Agreements and Post-nuptial Agreements
• Guardianships

Our goal is facilitating an amicable agreement for the parties in divorce. When appropriate, we believe that using mediation, arbitration or collaborative law reduces the emotional and financial costs of a divorce proceeding. While we are ready and able to take any case to trial, in this area of the law we are cognizant of the impact of these disputes on the family members and we strive to keep our clients out of the expensive and hurtful litigation process.

Family Law

In addition to helping clients with matters related to the breakup of relationships, we help counsel families and draft the documents that become necessary when a parent or spouse becomes incapacitated, including:

• Durable Power of Attorney
• General Power of Attorney
• Medical Power of Attorney
• Living Will
• Medical Directive / Health Care Proxy
• Directive Regarding a Guardian for children
