Strategies Tailored to Your Specific Goals

When you meet with one of our Worcester attorneys, we'll help you establish a game plan. We do this by asking you questions about your goals and objectives that include:

Do you want to keep the house? Can you afford it?
How much time do you want to spend with your kids?
Will you need financial assistance from your spouse or can you afford to pay support?
Are there household belongings that you really have to keep?
Do you carry the health insurance or does your spouse? If you are on your spouse's policy, can you get your own insurance?
How and when are you going to tell your children about your intentions?

The answers to these questions will help us develop a strategy tailored to your needs and circumstances. We then prepare the case as if we are headed all the way to trial. Even when we believe (confidentially) that the parties will not need to go that far, we still develop the case fully because our experience shows that if a case is litigated vigorously up to trial, the parties are more willing to be reasonable with each other.
