Contact Our Family Attorneys to Learn What to Expect in a South Shore or Cape Cod Divorce or Custody Case
You want a lawyer you can trust, because the divorce attorney you choose makes all the difference. At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, we offer full-service family law representation to men and women in Southeastern Massachusetts. Whether you are going through a contested divorce or an uncontested divorce, our experienced attorneys can help in the following types of cases:
Custody and visitation: We've earned the reputation as zealous advocates in hotly contested child custody disputes. We often work with guardians ad litem and, when necessary, involve private investigators, forensic psychologists, psychiatrists and parenting coordinators.
Alimony and child support: If you or your spouse is seeking alimony or child support, effective legal counsel is critical to the outcome. Because any support award is within the judge's discretion, your lawyer's familiarity with the preferences of each judge can make all the difference between a successful result and a devastating one. Since our attorneys are assigned to specific counties and courthouses, we can anticipate how your judge will respond in a particular situation.
Dividing property and debt: You and your spouse may have different ideas about what is fair when it comes to dividing marital property. In accordance with Massachusetts' equitable distribution statute, a fair distribution does not necessarily mean an equal division of assets and debts. Make sure you have a lawyer who will protect your interests and address conduct during the marriage, each spouse's contribution, and consider the tax implications of any settlement negotiation or when presenting your case at trial.
Mothers' rights and fathers' rights: Our attorneys stand up for the rights of both mothers and fathers who want to fully participate as parents to their children. We are often called upon to represent the interests of either parent when their former spouse wants to relocate from the area with the child. In addition to fighting these removal petitions, we also advocate for the move when it's in the best of the child.
Grandparent rights: We represent grandparents, mothers, and fathers in cases where they want to either assert or contest a grandparent's visitation or custody rights.
Out-of-state issues: Whether it's a move after divorce, or enforcing a foreign judgment, contact our attorneys for zealous representation.
Committed to Protecting Your Interests
Our founder and lead attorney, Irwin M. Pollack, is known for leading a team of fierce advocates for the clients' interests. Each attorney has a comprehensive knowledge of the law and knows the best approach to building a strong case on your behalf. Attorney Pollack works diligently to make sure your case is resolved in your favor without the need for a lengthy court battle, but will never hesitate to go to court with his legal team if negotiations fail.
How Do Our Tough Divorce Attorneys Work for You?
By having a laser-like focus on a single practice area, and by working together as a team, our attorneys are able to provide a level of expertise and skill that is unsurpassed on the Boston-South Shore, South Coast, or Cape Cod. We have earned a reputation for outstanding advocacy and counseling in all areas of divorce litigation. Although our first goal is to resolve cases prior to trial, we frequently appear and represent clients in contested matters before the Probate and Family Courts in Bristol County, Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Dukes County. We have succeeded in obtaining sizeable property awards, alimony, and child support judgments for our clients.
