Whether you are preparing to marry and want a solid, skillfully drafted prenuptial agreement or have a document in place that will factor into your divorce, you need an experienced lawyer. Both situations indicate that wealth and assets matter substantially in your case, and the legal counsel you choose should be well versed in current Massachusetts statutes and ever-evolving case law in these high-stakes areas.
Strong Experience in Drafting, Analyzing and Litigating Marital Agreements
At the downtown Boston boutique law firm Cunha & Holcomb, P.C., our family law practice is led by 25-year veteran Attorney Helen Holcomb, who has substantial experience writing "prenups" and handling the negotiations or litigation necessary when a marital agreement is subject to challenge. You can work with a lawyer proven capable of:
- Asking the right questions to firmly grasp your asset protection and distribution goals and efficiently draft a clear, defensible prenup or postnup designed to accomplish them
- Analyzing any prenuptial or postnuptial agreement insightfully and objectively in light of extensive divorce experience and knowledge of recent Supreme Judicial Court decisions
- Attacking or defending a marital agreement based on that balanced, informed analysis, the specific circumstances of your contested divorce and other information you provide
We maintain a balanced divorce practice, representing both men and women with the constant goal of reaching a fair negotiated settlement if possible — but standing prepared for strategically sound, forceful litigation before a judge when needed.
You can turn to us prior to marriage for informed guidance that may help prevent expensive and protracted disputes over property division later, or for in-depth personal counsel on the best way to proceed if you need to attack or enforce an agreement. In addition to our deep experience handling complex litigation and appeals, we have direct access to many qualified outside experts in asset valuation and other relevant fields.
