Uncontested Divorce

In Massachusetts, a married couple can file for an uncontested divorce if both parties are in agreement on the division of marital assets, spousal maintenance, and all child custody issues. If you both come to an agreement on all financial and divorce-related issues without the court's help, Bentley Law Group LLC's flat-fee uncontested divorce package is all that's necessary to handle your Massachusetts divorce.

Upon retention of Bentley Law Group LLC to file your uncontested divorce, we will draft a separation agreement consistent with Massachusetts law that addresses the minimum alimony (spousal support), division of marital property, assets, and debt. For those with children, the separation agreement will address child support and child custody and will include a parenting plan.

Contested Divorce

A divorce is contested if you and your spouse are not in agreement on one or more issues relative to your case, such as marital asset division, spousal maintenance, and all child custody issues. This is different from an uncontested divorce because the divorcing parties are unsettled on all matters incident to divorce.

For this reason, contested divorce proceedings take much more time due to the fact that a judge must resolve any major disagreements between the parties. The attorneys in a contested divorce spend time preparing for trial and in pre-trial hearings. The costs can vary widely depending on which law firm you choose.

In all cases, Attorney Bentley of Bentley Law Group LLC encourages you to work out settlements that will be beneficial to your interests. We offer a number of alternative dispute-resolution techniques, including collaborative law and mediation. Despite this, there are times when settlements cannot be reached, and we're prepared to go to court to protect you.

In most cases, the parties find a way to resolve their issues before going to trial, and our firm strives to help you avoid the high costs of divorce litigation whenever possible.

If you and your spouse are unable to reach an agreement on issues pertaining to your divorce, please contact Bentley Law Group LLC. Our firm will help you devise a strategy to find a middle ground.
