Traditional family law attorneys tend to litigate issues such as marital property division and child custody disputes, prolonging cases longer than necessary before a settlement or verdict is reached. At the law firm of Gallant & Ervin, L.L.C., we take a different approach.
Our goal is to help you reach the best resolution as quickly as possible so you can move on with your life. However, we recognize that not all cases can be resolved amicably and our lawyers have a strong track record of litigating family law matters through trial. We try family law cases in courts throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, including the greater Lowell area and the north metro area of Boston.
Our Burlington divorce lawyers handle all types of issues related to family law and divorce, including:
- Separation of property in divorce
- Achieving an equitable division of marital property in divorce, whether that is 50/50 or a fair but unequal division (for example, giving one party the marital home, but allowing the other party to keep possession of multiple cars; clearly the values of these assets are not the same, but oftentimes this type of settlement is still fair to the parties)
- Valuation of businesses and other significant assets
- Protecting your financial interests by seeking or contesting alimony under the new Alimony Reform Law
- Protecting your children’s best interests and your rights as a parent in child custody and visitation plans
- Seeking child support payments
- Arguing against financially unworkable support orders
- Representing custodial parents and parents with visitation rights in relocation and child removal cases
- Post-divorce modifications of child custody and child support
- Estate planning and probate services
- Representing heirs and administrators in will contests and other probate litigation
- Representing caretakers and family members in guardianship proceedings
