Boston Divorce Attorneys

Mother's Rights

In a divorce action, or even in a negotiated settlement, women have special needs dependent upon their individual circumstance that men often do not face.  Our attorneys offer divorce planning geared to assist the woman’s needs with a close eye toward what may be in the best interest of the minor children.

Since mothers and fathers have an equal opportunity to obtain the custody of their children, following a divorce action, mothers who want to retain primary custody of the children must be very cautious.  “The Tender Years” doctrine, whereby mothers were the preferred custodians of children under six years old, no longer exists.  When dad is a work-at-home father or has great flexibility in his work schedule, the situation must be looked at very carefully. 

At The Law Offices of Irwin M. Pollack, we have a unique network of the most highly qualified specialists to provide you with the finest input including child psychologists, forensic accounting and computer experts and real estate appraisers.  Contact our Boston Divorce Attorneys.
