Every Massachusetts Divorce Is Different

No two Massachusetts divorces look exactly alike, and the right approach depends heavily on your specific circumstances. 

We represent men and women throughout Massachusetts, as well as same-sex couples navigating divorce, and we tailor our approach to what matters most in your case. 

For couples who agree on the major terms of their divorce, an uncontested divorce can offer a faster, less costly path to resolution. 

For others, particularly those with substantial assets, contested custody, or other complex issues, a more involved process is often necessary, and we're prepared for that too.

Resolving Complex Divorce Issues

Koiles Pratt Family Law Group is particularly adept at resolving divorces that are complex and contentious. All attorneys at the firm are skilled negotiators and litigators. When an agreement with your spouse is not possible through settlement negotiations, conciliation, or mediation can offer a way to settle even complex divorces without going to trial. 

When those processes are not the right fit or fail to lead to resolution, your attorney will be ready to be your aggressive advocate in court. Our firm does not allow legal opponents to overpower your rights and interests, whether your case is in Salem, Boston, or another Massachusetts court.

Property Division: Getting Your Fair Share

Division of property is an important component of divorce under Massachusetts law. Our team is committed to protecting your interests and assets. We have a proven track record of identifying all available assets, which is vital to understanding in the divorce process. 

Beyond property division, the discovery of additional assets can affect child support and alimony agreements. Property division often raises specific questions, such as how to divide retirement benefits, whether you should keep the family home, and the tax consequences your settlement may carry.

We understand these complex property division issues and can advise you on your legal options. Our team works aggressively for an equitable distribution of your marital estate under Massachusetts law.

Discovering All Assets

As part of a divorce, the division of property is not always as obvious as it may seem. While most property is easily identified, such as homes and automobiles, other assets can be hidden or disguised. 

We work diligently to discover hidden assets, such as:

• Stock options
• Restricted stock
• Life insurance policies
• Real estate investments
• Inheritances
• Trusts

 We have the resources to leverage experts to identify other assets that should be considered as part of the divorce settlement.

With a complete understanding of all of the property involved, we can design a legal strategy best suited to protect your interests and assets in an equitable distribution.
