Massachusetts Family Law

Massachusetts family law governs relationships and related issues such as marriage, divorce, child custody, support, and domestic partnerships. It establishes how to legally end a marriage, determine child custody and visitation rights, and calculate child and spousal support. The law aims to ensure fair resolutions that prioritize the best interests of children and protect individual rights. It also covers issues related to guardianship, paternity, and domestic violence. Court processes are involved in resolving disputes, with decisions based on evidence, legal standards, and statutory guidelines to promote stability and fairness within families.
