- DivorceWith over 20 years experience as a lawyer in all types of divorce and family law cases, I have come to favor non-confrontational means to resolve family law problems.
- Child SupportIn both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, state child support guidelines determine the amount of the monthly child support payment. The Court can deviate from these formulas, but it must be convinced that the particular facts require such changes. You should seek knowledgeable legal representation to protect your rights and obtain the right level of child support.
- Child Custody and VisitationIn today's American society, people move often and for many reasons. For example, a new job may offer an enticing salary or seem like an economic necessity, or a fiance or fiancee may live halfway across the country. Unfortunately, the decision to relocate outside of a person's state of residence can become a complicated and thorny legal issue when that person has a minor child and the other parent has custody or visitation rights in the current state of residence.

- Spousal SupportDeterminations of whether spousal support is appropriate in a particular case is influenced by a seeming endless number of considerations...from health to earnings history to educational background...the list goes on.
