What is Family Law?
One of the many types of practice areas we service at our multi-practice firm is family law, which encompasses all legal issues relating to the family dynamic and close, interpersonal relationships, from adoption and divorce to child custody and restraining orders. Family matters are extremely personal and emotionally charged, which is why having an experienced attorney on your side to examine your issues from a legal perspective can be beneficial and facilitate a more desirable result. Family law is also notorious for the amount of paperwork and documentation required; a seasoned family lawyer can negotiate these challenges, offering insights and guidance so you so don’t add further stress to your life.
Cases Our Family Lawyers Handle for New England Clients
With the assistance of our estate planning and business lawyers, our team of family law lawyers is uniquely qualified to ensure you receive the best possible result for your family’s crisis, such as:
- Contested Divorce: When your spouse’s expectations differ from your own in terms of the reason(s) for the failed marriage or the terms of settlement and litigation is inevitable, then our veteran team of attorneys are committed to ensuring your representation.
- Uncontested Divorce: Not all divorces result in litigation. When divorcing parties are in total or even substantial agreement on the terms of their divorce, then an uncontested divorce can streamline the process.
- Prenuptial Agreements/Postnuptial: A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into by parties in anticipation of their marriage as a plan to identify and protect each individual’s assets in the event of divorce, separation, or even death. Not all prenuptial or postnuptial agreements are created equally and in fact, some may be unenforceable. We advise clients in the creation of as well as the dissolution of their prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
- Alimony/Spousal Support: Our lawyers will help you navigate the complexities and options available to those in need of spousal support, those paying spousal support or those seeking a modification of their support.
- Child Custody & Parenting Time: For most families, child-related issues are the most emotional and difficult to resolve. We can explain the “law” and apply the relevant statutory and case law to your unique facts and circumstances to protect your rights and your children’s future.
- Child Support: Your child(ren)’s welfare is our priority, and our lawyers will work tirelessly to see that your children have the financial resources needed to ensure the comfort and welfare they deserve.
- Property Division: Our lawyers can help you understand what an “equitable” allocation of marital property means as we work to ensure your rights are protected and you are awarded that which is rightfully yours.
- Mediation/Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Years before the “collaborative divorce” model came to being, our experienced family law lawyers routinely incorporated the same principles and designs of divorce through mediation or ADR by utilizing the services of qualified, neutral, third parties to provide an objective and experienced-based opinion as to what is fair and equitable in your particular case. Ask us about court-sponsored Neutral Case Evaluation.
- Domestic Violence: If you are a victim of domestic violence or have been accused of domestic violence, then we can help you obtain or challenge an Order of Protection to either protect you and your family’s safety or restore balance and fairness to you and your family during this period of crisis.
- Modifications of Prior Orders: Life is uncertain, and circumstances can and will change. Court orders can and may change as well to reflect the needs of both parties and their children. Contact our lawyers to discuss modifications to child support, alimony/spousal support, and custodial modifications.
- Relocation with Children: As circumstances change, so to may a parent’s place of residence. If you or your child’s other parent want to relocate with the child(ren), then you should be advised as to what your rights are to either facilitate or contest such a move. Our experienced lawyers can help you understand and resolve such a challenge.
- Grandparent’s Rights: If you are a grandparent and due to a change in your family dynamic, you are no longer afforded opportunities to spend time with your grandchildren, then you may wish to exercise your rights to ensure continued contact and quality time with your grandkids. We can offer assistance in such situations.
