Divorce

Deciding to file a divorce or realizing that your spouse has filed a divorce is not an easy position to be in. Making sure you have the right fit for an attorney is extremely important and not every attorney is the right fit for every client. We want to make sure that how we manage cases and how we provide services, matches what you are looking for on this journey.

You can file for divorce in Massachusetts if you have lived in the state for one year, or if the reason the marriage ended happened in Massachusetts and you have lived in Massachusetts as a couple. 

There are contested divorced ( also known as 1B divorces) where the parties are able to quite agree on all terms of the divorce, at least not at the time of filing.  There are also uncontested divorces ( also known as 1A divorces) where the parties have already agreed on all the terms that will go into their separation agreement before they file the divorce. 

No matter which route seems best for you, remember that it is a requirement in Massachusetts that both parties make full financial disclosures to each other in order to obtain a divorce.
