In Massachusetts, all matters involving children are determined taking into account the best interests of the child. While the parents are clearly involved and have an interest in the matter, it is the child’s physical, emotional, mental and educational needs which are deemed to be most important.   

Our attorneys know how, when litigants are involved in a divorce action, two major issues involving children must be dealt with:  the allocation of parenting time and decision-making responsibility. Both matters must be determined by considering the best interests of the child. We zealously advocate in your favor as the courts weigh various factors to determine how to serve the child’s best interests in these matters.
