Alimony 20%

If you are starting the divorce process, you may be concerned about how much you will be required to pay in alimony (also known as spousal support), or how much alimony or spousal support you may be entitled to receive to support yourself and your family.

20%
Child Custody 20%

There are two types of child custody in Massachusetts: Physical Custody and Legal Custody. Parents may have joint, sole, or split custody arrangements.

20%
Child Support 20%

Child support is money paid by one parent to the other in order to assist with the financial needs of children when the parents no longer live together. In Massachusetts, child support payments are determined in accordance with the Child Support Guidelines. The Guidelines take into account the parties’ income, health insurance expenses, and child care expenses.

20%
Family 20%

The decision to obtain a divorce can be challenging and emotional. It is important to hire an attorney who you can trust and who will offer you personal attention. Knowing your rights during and after a divorce can be crucial. If you and your spouse are not on the same page, contact me immediately to discuss temporary options while starting the divorce process.

Pre Nup

Rachel was very kind, professional and took the time to explain and negotiate my pre nup which went back and forth for a couple of weeks. Outside of the stress of the pre nup not getting signed till the morning of the wedding Rachel was amazing to work with. I'd highly recommend her.

Best Lawyer and Advocate in MA. Makes a hard time a lot easier.

There is not enough space to list all of the help Rachel provided my family. I was scared and confused when I first contacted her. She was able to work effectively with my not so cooperative spouse to bring a quick resolution to what could have been a long, drawn out, ugly case. She was able to ne...gotiate all matters, saving me time, money, and stress. She was much more than a lawyer, she was an advocate for my children and I. I will forever be grateful for all that she has done for us.
