You can trust our ability to handle your pressing legal issues, including:

• Divorce: The many issues that must be decided in divorce can present heightened emotions and heightened conflict. Whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, decisions made will affect how each party moves forward. Important issues in a divorce may include reviewing how a prenuptial agreement dictates the division of property, discussing custody options, presenting or defending allegations of abuse, and considering factors to determine how much alimony/spousal support should be awarded.
• Child custody and visitation: Child custody concerns generally cause the most anxiety in a divorce. Naturally, parents are worried about how their personal relationship with their child will survive the divorce. In most situations, it is best for the parents to negotiate a mutually acceptable child custody and visitation arrangement (usually some form of shared legal and physical custody). However, when custody is disputed, the court may appoint a Guardian ad Litem to perform an investigation and provide the court with an evaluation of their findings. This evaluation is then taken into account by the court when determining child custody and visitation.
• Paternity: When a child is born to married parents, the husband is presumed to be the natural father of the child (whether or not this is true). In divorce, the father may request a paternity test, particularly if the divorce was brought about by an extramarital affair. When a child is born to unmarried parents, a paternity action may be necessary to establish child support obligations or fathers’ rights, such as the right to visitation or custody.
• Modification or enforcement of a court order: There will inevitably come a time when the existing custody arrangement, visitation schedule or child support order no longer suits the changing needs of your family. Whether you want to arrange for more parenting time, request an increase or decrease in child support, need to relocate for your job, or want to pursue a contempt action for failure to comply with a court order, we have the skills to assist you. Our services include modification and enforcement of existing child custody, visitation and support orders.
• Family Mediation: Mediation of divorce and other family law issues often provides solutions that allow everyone to “win.” Rather than passing a decision to a judge, mediation allows you to maintain control of the decision making process. Mediation also saves you time, money and additional stress.

People facing difficult legal challenges involving property division, child custody and other divorce issues are often angry, apprehensive, or distressed. These emotions may have developed out of the ending of the marital relationship, fear of the legal process, or anxiety over what lies ahead. Bringing family conflicts to court only adds emotional turmoil and expense to an already difficult situation. Fortunately, mediation presents an opportunity for parties to reach a mutual understanding and negotiate important decisions together.

At the Law Offices of Sheila C. Harrington, our initial approach is always to explore mediation because it saves time, expense and stress. To learn more about our family mediation services or to schedule a consultation, contact our central Massachusetts law firm at 978-615-2075.

Our Approach

In each family law matter we handle, we negotiate on behalf of our client to seek the best resolution for that client, keeping in mind that sometimes “winning” means not fighting every fight. We work with our clients to determine their priorities and their legal budget. Though our first approach is always to negotiate with the opposing party, we only resolve matters according to our client’s wishes, and do not hesitate to present a contested matter to the judge.

Attorneys in our area know that we are fair but firm in our resolve to seek a fair resolution for our clients.

Though the majority of our cases are resolved without the necessity of trial, we approach each case with the knowledge that negotiations may fail and court intervention may be necessary. If your spouse or their attorney is not willing to be reasonable, we will be thoroughly prepared to argue aggressively to the court on your behalf. Our experience has shown that an attorney who takes the time to prepare serves her client much more effectively when the parties appear before the judge.

For a moderate fee you can come in and meet with our experienced attorney to discuss your situation and assess your legal options.
