We Provide Comprehensive Divorce Representation in Newton, MA
If you and your spouse are preparing for a divorce in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, you are certainly not alone. Approximately 4 in 10 marriages in the United States end in divorce. While divorce may not be rare, going through one is far from easy. Untangling your life from your spouse can be both emotionally and logistically challenging. At Turco Legal, our Newton divorce lawyers work tirelessly to help make this difficult process as smooth as possible for our clients. We can help you with all of the issues related to your separation, including:
- Physical Custody and Visitation: Massachusetts uses the ‘best interests of the child’ standard for child custody and visitation cases. There are actually two different forms of custody in the Commonwealth: physical and legal. Physical custody is possession of a child. Parents may share physical custody or one parent may be granted primary physical custody or even sole physical custody. Call our Newton divorce lawyers today for more information or if you’re dealing with child custody disputes.
- Legal Custody: In contrast to physical custody, legal custody is not about where a child resides on a day-to-day basis. Instead, it is about who has the right to make important decisions—educational, medical, etc.—on behalf of the child. Parents may share legal custody even when physical custody is not shared.
- Child Support: Our Newton, MA divorce lawyers represent both mothers and fathers in child support cases. No matter the specific circumstances surrounding your case, we are here to protect your rights and interests. Among other types of child support disputes, we can help you with negotiating a child support settlement, deviation from the Massachusetts child support guidelines, collection of delinquent child support, and modification of a child support order.
- Alimony: There are four types of alimony (spousal support) in Massachusetts: General term, rehabilitative, reimbursement, and transitional. Which type will be granted depends on the specific circumstances of the case. Though, alimony is not guaranteed in every divorce case in Massachusetts. Call our Newton alimony lawyers for more information.
- Property Division: Massachusetts uses an equitable distribution standard for property division cases. A divorcing couple’s marital property will be split fairly—an even (50/50) split may or may not be granted. Our Newton divorce lawyer has the financial skills that clients can count on in complex property division cases.
- Military Divorce: There are certain factors that make military divorce different from civilian divorce. There may be complex questions about state residency rules, delays due to an active duty deployment, and/or the division of military pensions. Our Newton military divorce attorneys will protect your rights.
- Same-Sex Divorce: In 2004, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to officially recognize same-sex marriage. It took more than a decade, but the entire country has now caught up. Our Newton divorce attorneys have the skills and experience to help LQBTQ couples navigate the unique issues that they may face when ending their marriage.
