Roots Family Law

Practice Areas

Divorce

Whether your divorce is uncontested or high-conflict, we guide you through every step of the process, including asset division, spousal support, and parenting plans. Our goal is to help you achieve a stable and equitable outcome.

Child Custody & Parenting Time

Your children’s well-being is the top priority. We help parents develop balanced, child-focused parenting plans and advocate for custody arrangements that support stability and positive development.

Child Support

Massachusetts uses specific guidelines to determine child support. We help you understand how support is calculated and ensure orders are fair and accurate—whether you’re establishing, modifying, or enforcing support.

Alimony (Spousal Support)

Alimony can significantly impact your financial future. We help clients navigate the Massachusetts alimony reform rules and advocate for fair results based on each party’s circumstances.

Property Division

Massachusetts follows an “equitable distribution” standard. We help identify, value, and divide marital assets—including homes, retirement accounts, and business interests—fairly and thoroughly.

Modifications

Life changes. If a current court order no longer fits your circumstances, we assist with modification requests involving custody, support, and alimony.

Contempt Actions

If a parent or former spouse is not complying with an existing order, we help you pursue or defend a contempt action to enforce your rights.
