Attleboro, Massachusetts: Divorce Lawyers
Bristol County ∙ Norfolk County ∙ Plymouth County ∙ Barnstable County ∙ Worcester County
Massachusetts is a no-fault divorce state. This means that a spouse who wants a divorce needs to state no reason other than "the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage." How long it takes to get a divorce depends on whether the spouses can agree on issues such as child custody, child support, alimony and property division. If the spouses cannot agree and the divorce goes all the way to a formal court hearing, the entire divorce process can take two years or more.
If you are considering divorce, whether you think you will file no-fault or fault, it is important to seek legal advice early — and independently of your spouse. With an early legal consultation, your attorney can help you take steps that will put you at an advantage relative to your spouse when the divorce proceedings begin — which will help you more quickly obtain a secure future for yourself and any children you may have.
