Yes, courts are open for divorce...

A pandemic silver lining: will the legal process become easier?

In many states, a couple can get divorced without setting foot in court. Not in Massachusetts. Here, even if you have a complete agreement on everything, you're still required to appear in person before a judge to have your agreement approved.

But COVID could prompt Massachusetts to fall in line with other states, like Pennsylvania and California, that allow couples to divorce without the headache of court.

Because of the pandemic, courts have begun to have virtual hearings, either by telephone or video conference, on divorce cases. Yes, this is truly an improvement over in-person court. But let's hope that someday soon divorce, a private family matter, will be removed altogether from the adversarial forum of court.

We were able to get to a very amicable agreement quickly and he laid out the entire process in great detail, which made the "day of" very easy. Considering the alternative approach isn't easy or fast (or cheap), I would recommend Dan and the mediation approach to anyone looking to get a divorce completed in a very smooth, efficient and respectful way." - Jason K.

One question I get asked often by couples considering divorce mediation is - Do we need to go to court at all? The answer is yes.

Even though you’ve agreed to everything and have a signed agreement, the judge must still review the agreement to ensure that it’s fair and reasonable. The court hearing on a joint petition usually lasts all of 5 minutes. I’ll fully prepare you for what you can expect and what you need to do and say.
