Although favorable results are always our goal, we aim to exceed expectations with exceptional service. Here’s what some of our clients have shared:
“We felt our case was their top priority…”
To begin with, we carefully interviewed several law firms in MA from our home in GA before making the decision. Fortunately, it was an easy one to make and we felt very comfortable when we committed. In our consultation, Damian and Jessica walked me through the details and scenarios of our case and we chose them almost immediately. From my initial call and consultation, to transitioning to intake, and proceeding through the case to a successful outcome, Turco was highly professional, and we felt our case was their top priority.
Additionally, Our attorney Jessica was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be an emotional experience for all involved. She and her team worked relentlessly to make sure our case moved along and assisted us with strategy and decision making. Moreover, Jessica and her team also helped to manage our expectations and would ‘check in’ with us frequently to make sure we knew what was happening at all times. Her legal representation has maintained my perspective that it’s a must to have the best attorney and legal team. If you’re seeking legal help, call Jessica and Turco Legal!

Andover Divorce Lawyers: Expert Legal Guidance for Your Family Law Matters
Divorce and family law cases in Massachusetts are governed by a combination of statutes, case law, administrative orders, court rules, and evidentiary procedures. Navigating these legal complexities can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with courtroom procedures and legal expectations. This is why having an experienced Andover divorce lawyer by your side can be so powerful.
At Turco Legal, we provide strategic representation in all aspects of divorce and family law, backed by extensive experience, skill, and experience. Our firm is a trusted resource for clients seeking clear legal guidance, from straightforward uncontested divorces to highly contested litigation. Moreover, we aim to empower our clients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. To further support this, our family law blog offers insights into relevant case law and emerging legal issues. While online resources are helpful, nothing replaces a personalized consultation with a skilled attorney. For this reason, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case using the link below or by calling us at (978) 699-0040.
Physical Custody & Parenting Time: In Massachusetts, “physical custody” determines where a child primarily resides. “Visitation” (or parenting time) refers to the schedule for the noncustodial parent. Some parents reach agreements without dispute, while others face complex custody battles involving concerns about child safety, substance abuse, mental health, or domestic violence. Our Andover divorce lawyer team is skilled in advocating for parents in both amicable agreements and high-conflict disputes, ensuring that the child’s safety and best interests remain the top priorities.
Legal Custody: Legal custody grants parents the authority to make important decisions regarding a child’s education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Massachusetts courts often favor joint legal custody, promoting the active involvement of both parents. However, sole legal custody may be awarded in cases where joint decision-making is impractical or against the child’s best interests. If you have questions about custody arrangements, our attorneys can provide tailored legal guidance.
Child Support Representation in Andover: Parents in Massachusetts have a legal responsibility to financially support their children. Child support payments are calculated using the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines, which consider factors such as income, childcare costs, and health insurance expenses. In most cases, support obligations continue until a child reaches at least 18 years old. When children continue their education through college or other post-high school education, parents typically continue paying child support until the child graduates or turns 23. Whether you need to establish, modify, or enforce a support order, our Andover child support lawyers are here to help.
Alimony and Spousal Support Advocacy: Alimony—also known as spousal support—is financial assistance that one spouse may be required to pay the other after divorce. The purpose of alimony is to help the receiving spouse maintain a standard of living similar to what was experienced during the marriage. Courts consider several factors when determining alimony eligibility and duration, including the length of the marriage, financial contributions, earning capacities, and future needs. Our Andover divorce attorneys work with clients to ensure fair and reasonable spousal support arrangements, whether advocating for or contesting alimony payments.
Property Division in Massachusetts Divorce Cases: Property division is often one of the most contentious aspects of divorce. Massachusetts follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets are divided fairly—but not necessarily equally—based on various factors. Courts assess contributions made by each spouse, their financial standing, and future earning potential. Assets subject to division include real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, and other shared property. On the other hand, each spouse’s “separate property” will not be divided. Our attorneys ensure that clients’ financial interests are protected during this critical phase of the divorce process.
Andover Military Divorce Attorneys: Divorces involving active-duty service members and military spouses come with unique legal challenges, including residency requirements, military pension division, and federal benefits regulations. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) governs how military pensions are divided, while the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) can impact the divorce timeline. Our Andover military divorce lawyers have extensive experience handling these cases and ensuring that service members and spouses receive fair treatment under the law.
Same-Sex Divorce Representation in Andover: Massachusetts law applies the same divorce rules to same-sex couples as it does to heterosexual spouses. However, some unique legal challenges may arise in cases involving parental rights, child custody, or property ownership. Our Andover LGBTQ+ divorce attorneys understand the nuances of these cases and provide dedicated representation to ensure fair outcomes.
