If you are preparing for a divorce in Boston or throughout Massachusetts, you probably have many questions. At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, we offer free initial consultations to help you understand the divorce process and provide answers to your questions, such as:
Do your lawyers have experience with the new child support guidelines in Massachusetts?
Yes, the new guidelines contain thousands of new words and changes, and our attorneys have thoroughly read, studied, dissected, picked apart, analyzed, examined, and made courtroom arguments successfully litigating its newest changes and principles. When you need to impact your divorce or modify your child support, count on our attorneys to fight on your behalf.
- My spouse and I want an uncontested divorce. What should I do? Do not try to pursue an uncontested divorce on your own. Contact an experienced attorney.
- What can I do if my ex- keeps taking me back to family court? Get legal representation as soon as possible to protect your rights. If you are getting frustrated about having to spend money to defend yourself against frivolous matters, ask your attorney to file a Motion for Attorney's Fees. Our attorneys do it often, and our success rate is impressive.
- My spouse gets paid overtime. Can I get some of this for spousal support? Probably, because there are now 28 sources of income under the header "Income Definition" in the child support guidelines. Many of these carry over to alimony, but it may depend on the unique circumstances of your case.
- Can I get my spouse to pay the mortgage on our home until our divorce is over? It's all about how what both of your financial statements look like, how the two of you have been handling the mortgage payment up to this point, and each party's ability to pay. Speak to an attorney about how to handle your current expenses during the divorce process.
- Will alimony stop when my spouse retires? It depends on specific drafting in that particular clause of the court order. Have you addressed the issue of survival and merger in the agreement? Consult an attorney if your spouse stops paying spousal support.
