Boston Family Lawyer

Family law is an especially complex corner of the legal system, not only because of how contentious cases between family members can be but also because of how subjectively the law, as written, can be interpreted by courts. Even if you follow every procedural rule, convincing a court to issue an order or judgement that serves your interests can be challenging to accomplish alone.

Fortunately, you do not have to navigate a complex family matter without the dedicated legal assistance you deserve. With help from a Boston family lawyer, you could more effectively protect your rights both in and out of court without having to worry about procedural mistakes or unexpected complications.

Common Family Law Issues in Boston

about-gallery

About half of all marriages end in divorce, and the ending of a marriage can lead to both strong disagreements and complex legal procedures. In addition to guiding you through fulfilling the procedural requirements for divorce, a seasoned legal representative could also play a crucial role in resolving family matters like property division, child custody, and spousal or child support.

Additionally, a hardworking legal team member could help with more than just the actual divorce proceedings. Well in advance of any marital trouble or vows being exchanged, our team could help an engaged or newlywed couple set boundaries and address potential future disputes through comprehensive prenuptial or postnuptial agreements.

After a divorce occurs, a family attorney could represent one’s best interests during a motion to modify the terms of an existing divorce agreement. Finally, a family attorney in Boston could help any family who wants to adopt within the U.S.

Why Is Retaining Independent Legal Counsel Important?

While the term “family law” might suggest emotionally charged divorce proceedings and tense disputes over custody rights or support obligations, not every case that goes before a family court is antagonistic. It is not uncommon for family court cases to proceed calmly and with all parties being on the same page.

That does not mean, however, that you can get away with sharing an attorney with your partner. Even if everyone wants the same result, it is essential for each party to have their own legal representation throughout each stage of the proceedings, not just to protect themselves from being taken advantage of but also to reassure the court that any agreements made outside court are fair and legally valid. If you need to retain your own family lawyer, our Boston team could provide the dedicated guidance you need.
