Worcester Mothers' Rights Attorneys
Women face some unique issues when divorcing. It is important for a woman to understand the issues so she will be prepared when obstacles and problems arise. At the Worcester office of The Massachusetts Family Law Group, our lawyers protect mothers' rights and help them move through the divorce process.
Each Judge and Court Works a Little Differently
Our lawyers appear almost every day in the probate and family courts of Worcester County. This is critical because although the law is the same, each judge and court in the commonwealth applies it a little differently. We know the preferences of the judges and understand the procedures of each courtroom. If you are a mother who wonders what will happen next, rest assured that our attorneys will be with you every step of the way, educating you about the process and helping you make the best decisions possible.
Problems? Our Lawyers Have Solutions.
The most common issues for mothers are custody and support. When your husband is fighting you at every turn, throwing around terms like "sole custody" and threatening you with financial disaster, we know how to fight back. If fathers are making unfounded charges of child abuse or drug addiction, we marshal evidence to disprove the allegations. If the father is orchestrating a campaign of parental alienation, our law firm has the resources to help children. We work with child psychologists and others to show that the antipathy of the child has been engineered.
Mistakes Mothers Make
The biggest mistake a woman can make is to assume that she will receive custody automatically because she is the mom. Another common mistake is failing to understand how men often use child custody as a wedge to lower their obligations for child support and alimony. A third mistake is that she will automatically receive alimony for life — even if she has a college degree or career. We educate women about such matters and help them develop game plans for maintaining healthy relationships with their children, whatever obstacles fathers place along the way.
Beware of "Super Dad"
We advise women to be careful when a husband who was previously a distant or workaholic father suddenly becomes intensely involved in the children's lives. Symptoms that you may be the victim of the father's efforts to obtain custody include:
- Making and attending doctor's appointments
- Going to school conferences
- Attending every sporting event
- Rearranging work schedules to spend more time with the children
