DIVORCE ISSUES

Our Founder and Lead Attorney, Irwin M. Pollack will tell you:  “For the overwhelming majority of divorces in Massachusetts, the number of issues in a typical divorce case can be counted on one hand.” 

Once you get past residency requirements and where to file for divorce, the main issues boil down to a very short list:

• Divorce Planning
• Lawyers & Legal Fees
• Custody & Parenting Plans
• Child Support & Emancipation
• Post-Secondary Education
• Alimony & Spousal Support
• Discovery & Hidden Assets
• Property & Debt Division
• Insurance Issues
• Tax Implications
• Finances & Estate Planning
• Self-Employment & Family Business Ownership
• Retirement Accounts
• The Marital Home
• Separation Agreements
• Filing First
• Domestic Violence
• Post-Divorce: Modification & Contempt

Several methods exist to handle divorce. The most common is litigation. This path takes you into the courtroom, where a judge makes the final decision about your needs and your future.  Our attorneys from The Massachusetts Family Law Group can stand by your side as you go down this path, aggressively fighting for your needs and your interests.

We can also assist you with uncontested divorce matters – an alternative to courtroom litigation – where you work out an agreement with your former spouse. This process puts you in control of the important decisions in your life, not a Judge. 

Our Massachusetts Flat-Fee Divorce Attorneys provide legal representation, but we also provide Self-Help Legal Services such as Divorce Consulting and Divorce Paperwork Services.  Get Started by calling (800) 910-DIVORCE.
