Divorce
When most people think of collaborative law, they think of divorce and family law matters. In fact, collaborative practice has increasingly been applied to other areas of the law such as elder law. The elements of collaborative law that make it so beneficial in family law also make it an attractive option for elder law. Elder law attorneys aim to facilitate their clients’ independence through educating family members about different financial and legal options available, as well as financial and disability planning. Oftentimes such legal and financial decisions lead to messy disputes between family members arising from different ideas of how to best care for their loved ones. Collaborative law can help families reach an agreement while still maintaining their close interpersonal relationships.

Child Support
I hired Atty. Schutzbank 4 years ago for a child support & custody case. He was excellent and really knew his stuff. This year, I had a change in status and I reached out to him today to ask some advise. He provided me with Read More »
Child Custody and Visitation
In Massachusetts, the child custody laws provides for both shared parenting and sole custody. Parental rights deals with the concepts of shared custody, physical custody, legal custody, visitation and parenting plans. More often than not, one parent is designated as the physical custodial parent and both parents act equally as the legal custodian of the child or children. While there is no legal presumption in favor of shared parenting, it is becoming increasingly favored by newer judges. It is simply an option that the court has, and is often a preferred resolution when the parents can demonstrate a history of, and willingness to continue sharing parenting responsibilities. Shared parenting is not feasible or appropriate in certain cases.
Paternity
Financial Support: Families with children who are supported by two parents are more likely to have enough money to meet their needs than families supported by only one parent. By establishing paternity, both parents make a commitment to support their child to the best of their abilities.
Premarital Agreement
So you’ve already said your “I do’s,” but you’re wondering if it’s too late to sign a prenuptial agreement. It’s never too late. As you accumulate assets in your marriage, start your own business or learned of family inheritance, it is not unusual for married couples to consider a postnuptial agreement, which is essentially a prenup for already-wed couples.
Guardianship
Guardianship is the legal process to appoint a caretaker for adults who are unable to make or communicate effective decisions about their everyday self-care, health, and safety. The Massachusetts Probate and Family Court can appoint a Guardian to make some or all personal decisions on the adult’s behalf. A guardianship protects the adult’s rights and independence and can be limited to areas where the adult’s ability is impaired.
Spousal Support
Massachusetts has a spousal support statute, (G.L.C. 208 section 34) setting forth several factors that the court must consider in determining the amount and duration of spousal support.
Annulment
A marriage annulment in Massachusetts is different from a divorce because it does not dissolve the marriage; rather it declares judicially that no marriage ever existed. However, given the importance of the institution of the marriage, annulments are not easily allowed by the courts. The statutes and the case law require very specific facts which go to one’s capacity to marry or to whether the marriage has the essentials of the marriage relationship. Intra-family or multiple marriages will be annulled as a matter of law. Similarly, in cases of underage, insanity or idiocy, marriages will be voided on the grounds of incapacity.

Criminal Defense
While the firm concentrates in the areas of Massachusetts family law, criminal law and elder law, we provide a broad range of legal services throughout the Merrimack Valley, including Middlesex, Essex and Worcester Counties, as well as throughout Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.
DUI/DWI
Field sobriety tests are a common tool used by law enforcement officers to determine whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol. In Massachusetts, if you are pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, you may be asked to perform a field sobriety test. While these tests can be useful in determining whether someone is impaired, they also have their limitations and drawbacks. In this article, we will explore the pros and cons of taking field sobriety tests in Massachusetts, as well as the consequences of refusing a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer test.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Simply put, estate planning is making a plan in advance and naming whom you want to receive the things you own after you die. Good estate planning should be much more than that. It should also do the following...
Wills
“Collaborative” is not just another word for “friendly.” It ‘s a different approach from traditional divorce litigation and is designed to make the process cooperative, not combative. With a Collaborative Law Divorce, each side has a lawyer to act as an advisor and negotiator, and a divorce coach intricately involved in the process. The goal is to help the participants take control of the process and resolve the issues in a respectful manner so everyone can move forward once the issues are settled. Collaborative law is also helpful in resolving family disputes such as caring for elders, will contests and shared property disagreements.
Power of Attorney
The collaborative process can play a part in resolving different elder law issues. For example, it can facilitate proactive plans for what will happen when an aging family member needs assistance, as well as aiding in the resolution of disputes regarding Powers of Attorney and Advanced Health Care Directives. With its focus on cooperation and resolving problems without court intervention, utilizing collaborative law in the elder law setting can help families resolve their important legal issues by helping the parties to work together to address their loved ones’ needs in a safe and constructive environment.
