When a marriage stops working — abruptly or over time, due to one major issue or a gradual breakdown — both spouses face many decisions that will influence the course of their lives, as each moves on after divorce to a new beginning. Especially when children are involved or financial considerations are substantial and complex, your choice of a divorce lawyer is critical.
Only a small percentage of Massachusetts divorces go all the way to trial, which technically defines a contested divorce. However, it is nearly as rare for couples to end their marriages with no key issues in dispute. In this sense, most divorces are "contested" at first, with lawyers playing a pivotal role in reaching a settlement that meets legal requirements and is acceptable to both parties. However, when a just resolution cannot be reached, you will have skilled trial lawyers on your side.
