Some couples consider legal separation when they’re not ready to divorce, or when divorce feels overwhelming. In Massachusetts, however, legal separation is not a recognized marital status.

Even if you live apart for years, your rights and responsibilities as a married couple continue. People often reach out thinking separation will pause things like alimony or property division, but those rights continue to accrue unless a divorce is finalized.

If you are considering divorce or living apart, Rob Withrow can help you understand your options. Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381‑5287.

Summer wedding season is almost here! Between choosing flowers and finalizing your guest list, don’t forget an important detail that can protect both partners: a prenuptial agreement.

A prenup isn’t about mistrust, it’s about prioritizing clarity and fairness so you can begin your marriage with confidence. It's also a great way to help couples address finances, assets, and mutual expectations before tying the knot.

Getting married soon? Rob Withrow can guide you through putting a prenup in place. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381‑5287.

Life changes don’t stop after the wedding day. Inheritances, new business income, or other unexpected assets can create questions about ownership during marriage.

A post-nuptial agreement allows couples to address these situations and clearly define which assets remain separate. This can prevent misunderstandings and provide peace of mind as your financial picture evolves.

Rob Withrow can help couples navigate post-nuptial agreements, ensuring assets like inheritances or other newly acquired property are handled according to their wishes. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381‑5287.

Sometimes divorce involves urgent safety concerns. When a restraining order is part of the situation, you may find yourself navigating two legal processes at the same time.

Restraining orders and divorce proceedings can affect one another, which is why it’s important to work with a legal team that understands how both processes operate and how they fit together.

Having guidance from an attorney experienced in both areas can help ensure your safety concerns are addressed while your broader family law matters are handled thoughtfully.

If you need a restraining order while navigating a divorce, Beth McCarthy can help guide you through the process. Contact Beth at [email protected] or call (781) 381-5287.

Thinking about filing an at-fault divorce in Massachusetts? The outcome may surprise you.

In Massachusetts, divorces can be filed as no-fault or at-fault. An at-fault divorce alleges that one spouse’s conduct caused the breakdown of the marriage.

Because of that framing, some people assume filing at fault will give them a legal advantage in court.

In practice, the Probate & Family Court is not a punitive court. Even when fault is alleged, the court’s role is to resolve practical issues such as property division, support, and parenting arrangements, not to assign blame.

A spouse’s conduct may be considered, but the court does not punish someone simply for causing the divorce. Punishment only arises in cases involving domestic violence, abuse, or serious parenting concerns.

If you’re seeking an at-fault divorce and want to better understand your options, Rob Withrow can help. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381-5287.

Contested vs. uncontested divorce: what’s the difference?

An uncontested divorce happens when both spouses agree on property, support, and parenting arrangements. These cases are generally faster, simpler, and less costly.

A contested divorce arises when spouses cannot reach an agreement. It may be necessary when there are unresolved disputes over property, support, or parenting arrangements. Contested cases are typically more complex, take longer, and cost more money.

If you are navigating a divorce and want guidance on what to expect and how the process works, Rob Withrow can provide support. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381-5287.

Graduation season is coming, and you may be wondering whether child support will end.

In Massachusetts, child support doesn’t automatically step when a child finishes high school. Support generally continues under the original order, often until age 21, regardless of graduation.

If you're considering filing for a child support modification, it's important to consult with an attorney first. The support amount might not change, especially if your income has increased since the original order was issued.

Before taking action, consult with your attorney so you understand what to expect. Rob Withrow can review your situation and help you know your options. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381‑5287.

Thinking about mediation for a contested divorce?

Mediation can help couples resolve disputes outside of court, but it isn’t always the right choice for every case. Factors like the complexity of the issues, willingness to compromise, and safety concerns all play a role.

If you’re considering mediation or want to know whether it’s appropriate for your situation, Rob Withrow can help guide the decision. Contact Rob at [email protected] or call (781) 381-5287.
