What About the Children?
Child Custody and Child Support
Divorce can be stressful enough but once children become involved the chances for conflict escalates quickly, which is why it is important to choose the lawyer who will fight for Custody and Support so can raise your children the way you want. Even in uncontested divorce the terms for child custody and support must be negotiated and negotiation expertise will be an invaluable asset to help you achieve the outcome you need.
Amicable Uncontested Divorce
When both parties can come to an agreement on spousal support, child support, child custody, and asset division we will help finalize the divorce proceedings. Uncontested divorces might not be right for every couple but you should explore this option as it is generally less costly and swifter than a contested divorce.

Often parties find hidden assets during proceedings and we will fight to uncover any asset that the other party has tried to hide.
How to Get Started
The first step in divorce proceeding is when one spouse files a petition with the court.
The spouse who files for divorce will need to file proof of service. This shows the court that the other party has been notified.
When the divorce filing spouse needs temporary support from the other spouse for child support and other needs.
When a party has divorce filed against them they need to respond and potentially dispute the ground for the divorce.
Parties don’t always agree to all the terms of the divorce and sometimes need to negotiate different terms.
In Massachusetts divorce proceeding are hear by a bench or Judge trial.
Once a Judge has ruled on the proceedings he or she will then issue a judgement or the “rules” for the divorce settlement.
After judgement a divorce becomes final after the “nisi” or waiting period. In 1A divorces this is 120 days.
