Frequently Asked Questions from Holliston Families

Can we file for divorce if we both still live in the same house?

Yes, as long as the relationship has irretrievably broken down, physical separation is not required in Massachusetts.

Do I have to go to court in person?

Not always. Many hearings—especially in uncontested cases—can be handled virtually. We’ll advise you case by case.

Is mediation an option?

Yes. Mediation can help reduce costs and conflict. If you reach agreement, we’ll draft and file the necessary documents to make it official.

How is child support calculated?

Massachusetts uses a formula based on both parents’ incomes, number of children, and time spent with each parent. We run accurate calculations based on the updated 2023 guidelines.
