Divorce
Our Massachusetts divorce lawyers handle “asset” or financial based divorces only.
Our primary approach is not the right fit for everyone. In fact, we purposefully avoid all cases involving children or child support issues.
Since our strength remains solely on the financial aspects of divorce, our law office represents divorcing parties involved with sole proprietorships, partnerships, privately held corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, inheritance issues, insurance, complex real estate, annuity, deferred compensation, pensions, retirement benefits, profit sharing, foreign assets, or other asset holdings.
Marital asset division can often be reached through a negotiated agreement. Where an agreement can’t be reached, a trial will commence and a judge will decide the equitable division of property.
“…the length of the marriage, the conduct of the parties during the marriage, the age, health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability, estate, liabilities and needs of each of the parties and the opportunity of each for future acquisition of capital assets and income. …”
a) Contributions of each of the parties in the acquisition, preservation or appreciation in value of their respective estates, and
b) Contributions of each of the parties as a homemaker to the family unit.
At the conclusion of a divorce case a number of financial transactions and property transfers may remain and need to be completed. Our attorneys can help in completing these transactions in an efficient and discreet manner.
