Our Family Law and Divorce Practice
We work with men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the decision to file a complaint to post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of a divorce decree. We will help you resolve your dispute regarding any divorce-related matter such as:
- Alimony - We will help you identify whether alimony is necessary and, if so, the amount, duration and frequency of payments. We will examine all the factors the court considers such as length of the marriage, age and health of the parties, and earning capacity of the parties.
- Child Custody/Parenting time - We will help you put together effective plans that identify where your children will live and when you will spend time with them. These arrangements will always put a premium on the best interests of your children but will also encourage regular and meaningful involvement in the growth and development of your children.
- Child support - We will review all proposed child support orders for compliance with Massachusetts guidelines and to ensure that all relevant income is included in the calculation. We will also assist you with any requests to deviate from the guidelines.
- Property division
We understand that, in today's world, where both parents often work, the traditional parenting time arrangements may not work. We take a creative approach, helping you identify alternatives that meet your needs and promote the best interests of your children.
We strongly believe that divorce and family law mediation can lead to effective solutions that can preserve assets and family relationships; however, we recognize that there are times when litigation is the only option. Attorney Morris is a highly experienced divorce litigator and mediator who can quickly assess your circumstances to determine the approach that will be most effective in delivering the best possible outcome for your case.
