Can I get a divorce in MA before filling for custody of my child?

No, the court will not allow you to divorce without confronting issues of custody, visitation, and support of minor children. If you would like some assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

In Massachusetts you are generally required to address all of the child related and financial issues as part and parcel of the divorce. If you are contemplating filing for custody of your son, that should probably be done as quickly as possible, to demonstrate you interest in your son's welfare. Please feel free to contact me, I have represented numerous fathers successfully in custody disputes, where the facts of the case warrant such an award.
