Family Law

At Jacobson & Richards are well versed in all aspects of family law — from complex divorce cases, child custody and paternity actions, to prenuptial agreements, contempt proceedings, post-divorce modifications and actions between domestic partners. We stay abreast of legal developments and trends in this highly charged area of law.

We pride ourselves in taking a personal approach to all our clients situations.  Our years of experience have helped us to become reasonable and effective negotiators and we can often resolve cases successfully without the ordeal and expense of litigating. When settlement isn’t possible, we have an excellent track record of success in the Probate and Family Courts and in the Appellate Courts.

We frequently represent clients in matters involving:

Adoptions

Child Custody Disputes

Coordination of parenting and child therapists

Abuse prevention orders and domestic violence

Alternative dispute resolution, i.e. mediation and concilliation

And much more…
Our goal is a comprehensive legal solution to help achieve satisfactory results for both parties involved. After a divorce settlement the structure of a family changes and we are ready to help with  trusts and estate issues as well as any other needs that the family may have.  Getting them back to a whole status is our highest priority.  Call to day to schedule a free, no obligation, consultation and start the healing process.
