Family Law Services for Quincy & Norfolk County Clients
Our Quincy office handles the full scope of family law matters that come before the Norfolk Probate and Family Court. Whether you’re starting a divorce, navigating a custody dispute, or seeking a modification of an existing order, we can help you understand your rights and build a path forward.
Our family law practice includes:
- Divorce (Contested & Uncontested): We handle both contested matters requiring litigation and uncontested cases where the parties have reached full agreement.
- High-Net-Worth Divorce & Complex Asset Division: We work with clients whose cases involve significant financial stakes, including business interests, real estate, retirement accounts, and other complex holdings.
- Child Custody & Parenting Plans: Massachusetts courts apply a best-interests-of-the-child standard; we work to present your strongest case for the custody arrangement your children need.
- Child Support: We help clients establish, enforce, and modify child support orders under the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines.
- Alimony & Modifications: Massachusetts law recognizes several forms of spousal support, including general term, rehabilitative, reimbursement, and transitional alimony. We handle initial awards and post-judgment modifications when circumstances have materially changed.
- Separation Agreements: A properly drafted separation agreement is a legally binding document that addresses property, support, and custody, and can later be incorporated into a divorce judgment.
- Mediation: We support clients through mediation as an alternative to litigation, with the goal of preserving co-parenting relationships and reducing cost where possible.
Under Massachusetts law, marital property is divided equitably, meaning fairly based on the circumstances of the marriage, not necessarily in equal shares. We help clients in Quincy and throughout Norfolk County understand what that standard means for their specific situation.
