What happens to my debt if I get divorced in MA? Debts are treated as “negative” assets and are divided as part of an equitable division of property. This means that the court will consider the same factors in allocating debts as it does in allocating other assets. Any liability that is secured by an asset usually becomes the obligation of the person who receives the property. An example is that a mortgage is secured by real estate and usually becomes the obligation of the person who lives in the real estate. An auto loan usually becomes the obligation of the person who has use of the car. Credit card debt is usually unsecured debt and is part of the general division of assets. Although courts purport to assign liabilities in the same manner as they do assets, many divorce practitioners believe that the allocation of liabilities can be less predictable – and subject to greater variation on a case-by-case basis – than the division of assets in a typical divorce. #divorced #debt #assets #massachusettslaw #massachusettslawyers #lynchandowens

Custody for Divorced Parents vs. Unmarried Parents In Massachusetts, the law surrounding custody and parenting time is generally the same for children of divorced parents and those of unmarried parents. An important difference applies to children of divorced vs. unmarred parents, however, with respect to shared custody. The Massachusetts child custody statute that applies to divorced parents, Ch. 208 s. 31, expresses no limitations on a judge’s ability to order “shared” or “joint" custody, beyond the “best interests of the child” standard. However, the custody statute for children of unmarried parents, Ch. 209C s. 10, explicitly provides that unmarried mothers shall have primary custody of a child until there is an adjudication of parentage: Prior to or in the absence of an adjudication or voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, the mother shall have custody of a child born out of wedlock. In the absence of an order or judgment of a probate and family court relative to custody, the mother shall continue to have custody of a child after an adjudication of paternity or voluntary acknowledgment of parentage. #childcustody #divorcedparents #unmarriedparents #massachusettslaw #massachusettslawyers

What Are the Benefits of Mediation? We help couples and spouses take control of their separation. Unlike litigation, which pits you against your spouse and places your family’s future in the hands of attorneys and judges, mediation lets you resolve your divorce on your own terms and with your family’s specific needs in mind. Divorce mediation can also help you preserve respect and good will towards your spouse, which is critical if you have children. When you choose mediation, it reduces conflict and stress, and helps your children survive the divorce process while minimizing emotional harm. Even if your marriage is coming to an end, you will both be parents forever. If you and your spouse both plan to be involved in your children’s lives after your divorce, consider getting help from a mediation professional who is trained to help divorcing couples get great results despite their differences. #mediation #benefits #massachusettslaw #massachusettslawyers #lynchandowens
