Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Entitlement

There are to many unanswered questions to give you advice on your specific questions.

With that being said, you are entitled to child support (according to the child support guidelines) and maybe even alimony. It depends on multiple factors that are not considered separately, but as a whole. Below are just a couple of samples that are consider.

1. lenth of the marriage;

2. age, health, station in life, etc., etc., etc.

Also, has anyone filed for divorce at this point?

Are there assets involved?

If you don't have assets, you may qualify for a lowered hourly rate or a pro bono attorney.

Some sources are Lawyer's referral, Women's Bar, Association, Boston Bar Association, etc.

In order for me to point you in the proper direction, I would need more information from you.

My initial consult is free. If you are interested in setting up an appointment you can call or email me.

Or, you can also email me with further information so I can properly guide you. My number can be found in my profile and my email address is [email protected]

Re: Entitlement

Retain an attorney to first of all ensure you are receiving the full amount of child support under the Child Support Guidelines and to advise whether you might also qualify for an allowance that the Court might order him to pay toward your attorney's fee so you can file the divorce complaint and to advise whether your situation warrants an award of alimony as well. Good Luck!
