Frequently Asked Questions

An uncontested divorce in Massachusetts typically takes about 90 to 120 days from the date of filing. The process is faster and less expensive than a contested divorce because both parties agree on the terms. Our team handles all the paperwork and court appearances to make it as smooth as possible.

Massachusetts courts determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the child's relationship with each parent, stability of each home environment, the child's wishes (if old enough), and each parent's ability to provide care. We help you build a strong case that demonstrates your commitment as a parent.

A prenuptial agreement is a smart financial planning tool, not a sign of distrust. It protects both parties by clearly defining property rights, financial responsibilities, and expectations. This is especially important if you own a business, have significant assets, or are entering a second marriage. We draft agreements that are fair and enforceable under Massachusetts law.

Yes. In Massachusetts, child support and custody orders can be modified if there has been a material change in circumstances, such as a significant change in income, relocation, or changes in the child's needs. We help you file a modification petition and present a compelling case to the court.
