Child Custody Lawyers –
Massachusetts


There may be no other area of family law that is more important or may be more emotionally charged than cases involving Child Custody. Family law courts in Massachusetts work diligently to act in the best interests of children who are at the heart of Child Custody cases. The best way you can help ensure your rights as a parent are upheld, and the best interest of the children is determined, is to rely on an experienced legal advocate to represent you and guide the process along. The Child Custody Attorneys at Shapiro Law Group, PC have the compassion needed to tackle the most sensitive or complicated Child Custody situation.

It is important for parents to understand how Child Custody law in Massachusetts courts is decided. Judges have a fair amount of discretion. The judge will consider lifestyle and financial factors, and other needs of the child such as:

  • Education standards and school location
  • Parents ability to provide shelter, food, clothing, medical care, and other basic necessities
  • Safety of home situation and community
  • Age, physical and mental health of parents
  • Religious considerations
  • Ability of parents to foster relationship between the child and other parent
  • Any other relevant factors the court deems important to the physical, emotional, and mental health of the child

Parenting Plan

It takes both parents to do what’s in the best interest of their children.

A parenting plan will outline physical custody and legal custody points, such as visitation schedules, transportation to other parent, education decisions, religious teachings, health care plans and decisions, and any other decisions that need to be made when sharing custody.

While coming to a mutual agreement concerning details of a parenting plan is strongly encouraged, it isn’t always an easy endeavor.

Modifications

Representation related to Child Custody issues may not end with the agreement of a parenting plan and visitation schedule. As a child grows older or as life changes warrant, there may be modifications needed. Having a skilled and experienced family attorney who is familiar with your situation can make any needed modifications smoother for all parties. Life changes, such as wanting to move out of state, may also require legal counsel. With honest advice and support from an advocate in your corner, you will feel heard, understood, and supported through all of your Child Custody needs.
