Uncontested Divorces-Boston Massachusetts

Most divorces are or become uncontested at some point. This means that two people seeking a divorce are able to reach an agreement that satisfies both parties apart from trial litigation. Uncontested divorces can save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and lots of time as contested divorce cases can sometimes drag out for a year or more. If you cannot reach an agreement, the last resort is to contest the divorce in a court of law which will mandate a settlement upon you and your ex-spouse. Things that need to be settled include the following:

• Grounds for Divorce: Adultery, abandonment and abuse are some reasons that couples seek divorce. No fault divorce allows a divorce to be granted where one spouse testifies that the marriage is over.

• Alimony or “Spousal Support”: Does one of the spouses have a need for financial support and is the other able to provide it?

• Child Custody: If you have children, this involves figuring out what parent your children will live with most of the time and how much visitation rights each parent will have.

• Division of Property and other Assets/Liabilities: Massachusetts law requires equitable distribution in the event of a divorce. This means that property gets divided “fairly”. What is fair in any particular set of circumstances is often contested, resulting in the need for legal representation.

If you are in the middle of a divorce and need help reaching an agreement with your soon to be ex-spouse, professional legal representation can oftentimes make the process easier, faster and cheaper.
