Custody, Support
& Visitation
By far the most common types of family disputes involve the financial support,
custody and care of dependent children. Massachusetts law requires both
divorced and out of wedlock parents to continually support their children into
early adulthood.
see child support guidelines.
Even when
parents agree on custody and support issues at the time of their divorce,
separation or paternity case, future changes create new conflicts. Attorney
Grew is often
able to resolve support, custody and visitation conflicts quickly and at an
affordable cost.

More and more,
both parents believe they should be
awarded custody of their children.
Most judges require a specific set of circumstances before they will order
shared physical custody. The majority of court cases are still
resolved with one party receiving sole physical custody; however, increasingly
parents are entering into "parenting plans," which offer both parents and their
children the benefits of a compromise. Attorney Grew can assist most parents with
drafting a comprehensive parenting plan for the fraction of the cost of
litigation.
Child custody litigation is expensive, legally complex and emotionally difficult for
clients and their children. It is necessary when children need protection from a parent or
when one parent seeks to alienate the other parent. Child custody trials
frequently require the use of a
guardian ad litem
or other mental health or forensic professionals to assess both parents and the
children in order to provide the court with a custody recommendation.
iFamily court judges look closely at both
parent's history, conduct during the marriage and and present conduct to
determine who receives primary custody. Demonstrating the "right"
parenting skills makes the difference between receiving primary custody
and visitation. Winning custody sometimes requires a client to
change his or her parenting approach. Attorney Grew can assist you with
this "custody makeover." If
obtaining primary custody is important, please put Attorney
Grew's knowledge and experience with
guardian ad litem,
DSS and contested cases involving mental health professionals.
