Divorce And Family Law Case Results

– Division of Assets

In a recent case, one of our lawyers negotiated a highly complex financial settlement on the eve of trial that resulted in a favorable division of our client’s stock options in a publicly traded corporation.

After a trial in another case involving substantial marital assets, the court ruled in favor of our client regarding the interpretation and unenforceability of certain provisions in a prenuptial agreement.

– Child Custody and Support

Our attorneys have been successful securing — and defending against — both contempt and modification actions. After a recent trial for contempt, our client was awarded a sizeable judgment for unpaid child support and was also awarded counsel fees and interest.

In another recent case, one of our attorneys recently succeed in defeating a party’s request to remove two minor children from southeastern Massachusetts to central New Hampshire.

At a recent trial, our client gained custody of a minor child and other vital relief after the court ruled that his former wife’s charges of child abuse were false.

One of our lawyers succeeded in proving our client’s claim to be the father of a child, and the probate court ordered an appropriate parenting plan fully recognizing our client’s parental rights. We regularly represent unmarried persons in paternity actions to establish paternity and parental rights.

– Prenuptial Agreements

At a recent trial, we successfully challenged the legality of certain provisions of a prenuptial agreement and our client won a highly favorable judgment of divorce.

– Alternative Dispute Resolution

In a recent mediation, we obtained a favorable property settlement that preserved inherited and gifted property that our client received during her marriage.
