Boston Attorney for Contested or Uncontested Divorce
The personal, legal and practical demands of divorce can be much easier to manage and survive when you have the advice and support of an experienced lawyer. Whether your case involves sharply contested child custody or property division issues, or instead requires little more than documentation for a legal separation agreement, Boston family law attorney Thomas McKean can help you. Contact his office for a free initial consultation about your situation.
Even divorce cases that present few problems of a strictly legal nature can take their emotional toll. The resulting confusion, resentment or self-recrimination can cloud your judgment and distract you from the important decisions that you need to make for your long-term security and that of your children.
At the law firm of Thomas McKean, we will work with you so that your choices will reflect a sound understanding of your rights and responsibilities under Massachusetts divorce law. From this solid foundation, you will then be able to develop your own vision of what a positive outcome will look like. We can take care of the legal and procedural details that will advance your objectives within the limits of the law.
Boston divorce lawyer Thomas McKean represents clients in both uncontested and contested cases. In the former, both spouses agree that the marriage is over, sign a joint affidavit of irreconcilable differences, and then concentrate on resolving the financial, parental and other practical details that remain. In a contested divorce case, the spouse seeking dissolution of the marriage must allege and prove grounds for divorce as defined in the statutes.
Our firm offers dependable and practical advice for the most effective ways to protect your interests while resolving disagreements about any or all of the following:
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support or spousal support
- Division of marital property and debts
- Primary residence during legal separation or after the divorce petition is filed
- Enforcement of prenuptial agreements
- Modification or enforcement of custody orders, support orders, or restraining orders
- Planning for your financial security following divorce
