Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Massachusetts
Massachusetts adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. 4 days after signing for revocation.
Alimony in Massachusetts: How It Works
Massachusetts calls it alimony. MA's 2011 reform created statutory durational caps tied to marriage length: marriages of 5 years or less = 50% of months married; 5-10 years = 60%; 10-15 years = 70%; 15-20 years = 80%; 20+ years = indefinite.
Annulment in Massachusetts
An annulment in Massachusetts declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Bigamy, incest, fraud.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Massachusetts
Massachusetts child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. No presumption for joint physical custody. Joint legal custody is common; physical primary custody often goes to one parent with structured parenting time for the other.
Child Emancipation in Massachusetts
Massachusetts child emancipation generally requires age Common-law or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Massachusetts
Massachusetts child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. Reasonable notice.
Child Support Calculations in Massachusetts
Massachusetts calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Massachusetts
Massachusetts unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Massachusetts
Massachusetts collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Massachusetts
Massachusetts does NOT recognize common-law marriage. Cohabitation alone — even for decades — does not create marriage rights here.
Family-Court Contempt in Massachusetts
Massachusetts family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Massachusetts
Massachusetts allows both no-fault and traditional fault-based divorces. Most divorces use the no-fault path: irretrievable breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is child support calculated?

Most states use guidelines based on both parents' incomes, the number of children and custody time.

What if the other parent isn't paying?

Support can be enforced through wage withholding, liens, license suspension and contempt. A lawyer can start the process.

Do I need a family lawyer if we agree on everything?

Not always, but a lawyer can make sure the agreement is complete, fair and enforceable — especially when children, a home or retirement accounts are involved.

How much does a family lawyer in Massachusetts cost?

Most charge hourly against a retainer; some offer flat fees for uncontested matters. Ask for the fee structure in writing at your first meeting.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Any court papers, a list of assets and debts, recent pay stubs and tax returns, and notes on your children's schedule if custody is involved.
