Massachusetts divorce and other family law issues can make you feel like you're riding a roller coaster. We're 100% focused on helping you get back on your feet without the stress and expense of a lengthy court battle. But we'll fight for you in court when needed. Deep inside you probably know that things will not get better. In reality, you know your situation will, at best, remain the same but likely worsen.
Stress and frustration levels rise, conflict becomes the norm or people just avoid each other. Parents hope their kids don't notice anything, but of course, most of them are highly attuned to family dynamics. We understand the emotions you are experiencing and how things feel overwhelming when you face so many unknowns. We are laser-focused on resolving divorce and other family law matters with a modern and sensible approach.
We don't think it makes sense for most people to pay lawyers a hefty retainer followed by seemingly endless additional bills. Legal fees can quickly grow into tens of thousands of dollars and even into six figures in some instances.

Services
Divorce and family law are what we do at Next Phase Legal & Dispute Resolution.

Our project-based approach and fixed-fee options (available for most cases) clearly explain the scope of our work and your fee so you can make smart choices, instead of being stuck on a rollercoaster ride of hourly billing that feels like it will never end.

Did you know that mental health experts consider divorce one of the most stressful experiences people encounter?
Even post-divorce conflict over issues such as child support and parenting can increase anxiety for parents and children alike.
Unfortunately, some people are unable to escape patterns of high conflict or poor communications.
Although divorce is never easy, you and your spouse can minimize the negatives.
Avoiding a divorce war is a smart goal.
By the time an adversarial, litigation case is over, people are usually frustrated that it took so long, that is cost so much money, and for parents - that working together for the benefit of the kids is more challenging than ever before.
