Worcester County Family Lawyers

Planning to get married? We can help you with putting a marital agreement in place either before you get married or after you have tied the knot. Protecting your assets and your future isn’t always easy to discuss with your partner in relation to your marriage ending, and we understand that. It can be incredibly liberating to know that should things not work out the way that you planned on your wedding day, you have a strategy in place to handle some of the issues that can come up in divorce. 

A prenuptial agreement is drafted prior to you walking down the aisle, and a postnuptial agreement is put together after you have married. Things can happen that change the layout of your marriage entirely, such as a different career path or an inheritance, and you want to protect what happens to you and your family financially should things not work out. These are great reasons to have an enforceable marital agreement in place, should you need to use it. Sleep better knowing that you have worked with an experienced attorney to help you with these details.

Going through a divorce? There are so many issues that can come up in divorce, and almost all of them have emotions attached to them. This can make it hard for you or anyone to navigate alone. Looking at the bigger picture through the eyes of an experienced attorney can be invaluable during this time of your life.

Do you have questions about alimony, child support/custody, mediation, guardianship, relocation, or domestic violence? All of these are areas that we can assist you with. No two situations are the same, so having the years of experience that we can rely on to help you with your specific needs means we are confident that we can help you, too.

I’m Worried About How My Divorce Will Affect My Children, What Do I Need to Know? 

Divorce is almost always hard, especially when there are children involved, but it doesn’t have to mean total destruction in your or your children’s lives. Making sure their quality of life stays a priority throughout the changes occurring is important to any parent. We understand that, and we make it our priority too. We can assist in areas such as child support and making sure all the facts are on the table, so it is calculated properly. We can also help you with child custody and parenting time so you have a plan in place moving forward in separate homes.

Is guardianship something that you may be in need of to ensure your children have all of the help they need when they need it? This is an area we have experience in as well and can help you determine if it is the right fit. If one of the parents isn’t able to be present for their children through legal issues,  medical issues, or other situations, guardianship can be a solution to keeping your children’s needs met.

It can be difficult to harness your emotions during such an inevitably hard time in your life. Having a trusted team of professionals to help you navigate a divorce and keep you focused is what we are here for. Whether it is through mediation or through the courts, or both, we can make sure you are prepared, and your children are as well.
