The Divorce Process
In Massachusetts, families that are separating may do so as an uncontested matter (if they can agree on how to resolve all the issues affecting the family) or as a contested matter (if they are not confident in their ability to reach an agreement without input from a judge).
Whether uncontested or contested, spouses will need to address topics like custody and visitation of children, child support, alimony, and the divisions of assets and debts. Our Worcester County divorce lawyers can analyze the facts of your case and discuss your options for pursuing a beneficial settlement.
Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss the details of your case.
Divorce proceedings may involve:
- Filing and serving pleadings
- Obtaining temporary orders
- Conducting and completing discovery
- Drafting separation agreements
- Filing and defending against complaints for contempt
- Preparing for and arguing at the pre-trial and trial stage
- Filing and defending against complaints for modification
In the process of divorce litigation, there are numerous requirements and expectations that need to be met. This may include exchanging certain documents with the other side, taking parenting classes, properly filing certified documents with the court, and drafting memoranda that explain important facts and legal arguments.
Keeping track of Massachusetts divorce law and knowing how to comply with the court rules and expectations can be overwhelming, but the lawyers at Rudolf, Smith, Griffis & Ruggieri, LLP can walk you through the process.
