Divorce Lawyer in Massachusetts & New Hampshire

Divorce can be an extremely stressful and overwhelming time under the best of circumstances. Even when a couple in the midst of a split agree on many of the issues or decisions that need to be made to dissolve a marriage, the process is still complicated and expert legal guidance is needed.

A skilled    from the law firm of George C. Malonis can help you navigate the divorce process and ensure your rights are protected during and after the dissolution of a marriage. While each Massachusetts divorce case is as unique as the two people involved, there are set standards and protections for those seeking divorce. Massachusetts is an equitable distribution state. This means there is to be an equal split pertaining to property division and marital assets. However, there can always be disagreements as to what constitutes a marital asset. With George C. Malonis on your side, your assets will be protected and your stake in marital assets will also be secured. We can secure the services of experts, such as forensic accountants, who will work diligently to ensure every dollar, bank account and item is accounted for and fully disclosed. If one partner has not been fully informed or involved in the finances or investments during the marriage, these services may be a necessity when it comes to ensuring an equitable split.

Alimony may also be a vital part of the divorce process. Without expert negotiating or litigating skills, you may agree to a settlement or alimony amount that is far less than you deserve. Or, you could end up paying more than you should have to under the circumstances.

Alimony Process

Several factors affect the alimony process including:

• Length of the marriage
• Income and employability of spouses
• Age at time of divorce
• Estate liability issues
• The established lifestyle during the marriage
• The needs of minor children

As a marriage ends, settlement issues, such as alimony and child support, may require further legal advice and intervention. The law firm of George C. Malonis will be there to guide you and help you handle any continuing or evolving divorce issues such as alimony or child support.
