At the Law Office of Michelle Hansen, you will be represented by an attorney thoroughly experienced in all aspects of divorce and family law. 

Attorney Hansen will use her nearly twenty (20) years of experience and practice in all of the Massachusetts courts to obtain the best results possible for you and your family. 

If you would prefer to mediate your divorce or family law matter rather than traditional divorce litigation, Attorney Hansen will work tirelessly to assist you in achieving results specific to your individual needs and concerns.

Whether your choice is traditional legal representation through the Massachusetts Court system or you choose to try mediation so as to design your marital separation agreement, there are many areas where individuals have questions as to their legal rights, including:

• Child custody – what are the differences between legal and physical custody?  What does it mean to have joint custody or sole custody?
• Child support – Who pays?  How much? Can the amount change? How is it collected?
• Parenting Time (previously called “Visitation”) – How do we arrange the parenting time?  What do we do about holidays and extended family celebrations?
• Spousal support – When is spousal support appropriate?  What is the current status of the law in Massachusetts regarding spousal support?  
• Paternity and the adjudication of a father’s legal rights and responsibilities to his child(ren).
• Gay and lesbian couples – What are our legal rights under Massachusetts law regarding children, real estate and personal property, spousal support and the rights of a de facto parent under Massachusetts law.
• Property Settlements – How is our real estate and personal property divided?  What happens when one of us owned the house by ourselves before we got married?  Is a pre-marital agreement enforceable in Massachusetts?  What happens if I just inherited property? 
• Pensions and Retirement Funds – What happens to my retirement funds if I get divorced?
• Medical Insurance – Who will carry the medical insurance for the spouse and/or the children and how will this be decided and for how long?
• Children’s Education – What are our individual financial responsibilities regarding our child’s educational expenses including private schools, tutors and college education?

Attorney Michelle M. Hansen can answer all of your divorce and family law questions whether you choose to pursue a divorce through traditional methods or through the mediation process.
