Wondering what really happens after you file for divorce in Massachusetts? The process begins with paperwork filed at the courthouse, which is then “docketed” — stamped, assigned a judge, and given a case number. From there, a summons is issued to notify your spouse. Depending on the courthouse, this step can take just a couple of weeks or stretch into months. If you’re about to take this first step, O’Connor Family Law can guide you through every stage.

Are you unsure how courts determine custody arrangements in Massachusetts? The decision-making process involves various factors, including the child's school, each parent's work schedule, and the child's social environment.

Did you know that domestic violence isn’t just about physical harm? Being cornered in a room, financially controlled, or even threatened through your children or pets can all qualify. If your partner is using intimidation or control to strip away your safety and independence, it may rise to the level of domestic violence. O’Connor Family Law can help you understand your options and whether a restraining order or protective order could apply in your case.

Worried because you were served with divorce papers and labeled the “defendant”? In the Massachusetts family court, that doesn’t mean you did something wrong — it only means you weren’t the one to file first. In fact, being the defendant can be a strategic advantage, giving you a chance to see the other side’s arguments before presenting your own. If you’ve been served, don’t panic.

Curious about how child support factors into your custody case? In Massachusetts, child support is based on a specific formula that considers both parents' incomes, the custody arrangement, and allowable expenses like health insurance and childcare costs. While child support doesn’t affect custody itself, the amount you pay can vary based on your custody arrangement. The more time one parent has physical custody, the higher the child support amount may be. If you need help navigating your custody and child support case, O'Connor Family Law is here for you.

Are you wondering if joint custody or sole custody is the better option for your family? While joint custody involves equal or close-to-equal time with both parents, sole custody grants one parent the responsibility of making all the major decisions for the child. In Massachusetts, courts generally prefer both parents to be involved in decision-making and parenting time. However, the best arrangement depends on your unique situation.
