We focus on finding creative solutions to the challenging problems presented by complex domestic relations cases, including issues related to child support, alimony, property division and parenting plans.

- Child Custody

Whether you never married the other parent or were married for years, we can help you.

- Child Support

The basic child support obligations in a divorce case or paternity proceeding are calculated using formulas developed by the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines. By statute, these Guidelines are to be applied to all child support orders — whether the parents of the children are married or unmarried — and there shall be a rebuttable presumption that they apply in all cases establishing or modifying a child support order.

- Alimony

Spousal support (also known as alimony) is often part of a divorce. Alimony is paid or awarded for numerous reasons. One spouse may be incapable of financial self-support because of a physical or mental disability or because he or she lacks adequate education, training or work experience. In some divorces, one spouse may have a much higher earning capacity than the other spouse who stayed home to care for children or run the household. Massachusetts divorce law allows a court to award alimony to a spouse after considering all pertinent factors. Spousal support is generally more likely to be awarded in long-term marriages than in short-term marriages and can be temporary or permanent.

- Paternity

Our law firm helps both men and women with paternity actions of any kind, including bringing a paternity lawsuit and defending against a paternity claim involving child custody or child support. At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, our experienced paternity lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of both married and unmarried parents, seeking justice for them and for their children.

- Divorce

Do you want to get divorced? The decision to divorce is critical, with consequences that can last a lifetime.
