Mediation and Litigation

Under court rules in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, parties in most divorce cases will be expected to mediate their differences based on the recognition that even though divorce ends a marriage it need not destroy all relationships. Angry litigation between parents negatively affects the children, sometimes tainting interactions for years after a divorce. The court rules are intended to increase the number of domestic relations disputes settled by agreement. Our knowledgeable, experienced family law attorneys have successfully handled many mediated divorce proceedings. If efforts to settle fail, our team of skilled litigators will capably guide you through the contested divorce process. Whether your case is mediated or goes to trial, we handle every phase of the case from start to finish.
