Massachusetts Family Law Attorneys
Focusing on your family, your future and your finances
Feinberg & Kamholtz is focused on helping families move beyond conflict through legal advocacy and pretrial resolution, where possible. We specialize in complex cases involving business valuations or business succession plans, alimony disputes, and interstate and international custody disputes. Our goal is to resolve marital or child-related disputes effectively and efficiently by providing each client with the personal and professional attention they deserve.
Typical clients in our family law practice include:
- A husband in a divorce action who sought to preserve a multi-million dollar real estate business
- A wife in a divorce action who sought to modify a foreign custody and support order
- A foster mother in her successful effort to adopt her foster children
- A resident alien who sought enforcement of a foreign country custody decree in Massachusetts
High-net-worth divorces involving substantial assets
Where substantial assets are involved, there is often an added layer of complexity that complicates finding a just resolution. Our attorneys pursue an aggressive course of pretrial discovery. We work closely with our network of professionals in areas such as forensic accounting and investment planning to analyze the impact of today’s decisions on tomorrow’s financial outlook.
Our attorneys tackle ongoing issues of preserving wealth for future generations, developing ongoing parenting plans, dividing retirement savings accounts and uncovering hidden assets, marital fraud or breach of fiduciary responsibility. We are focused on delivering high-quality legal services that address the needs and concerns of wealthy couples in pursuit of legal separation or divorce.
Valuations of closely-held businesses
Many of our divorcing clients come to us with an equity interest in a partnership or closely-held corporation. Our attorneys are familiar with the interests of stakeholders and shareholders in partnerships and closely-held or family-run corporations and the difficulties of valuing such interests. Issues may include whether to continue operating or to dissolve the business, and how to equitably divide these assets in a divorce.
Feinberg & Kamholtz has the experience and resources necessary to help you develop a sound strategy for preserving assets during divorce proceedings and for a reasonable and fair means of extricating them from the marital estate.
Child custody practice with national and international reach
The attorneys at Feinberg & Kamholtz are mindful of the complexities of domestic and international custody litigation. We also recognize that your child’s best interests are at stake. We are equipped to handle child custody disputes involving international relocation or interstate relocation.
As a preliminary matter, our firm aims to achieve custody-related settlement agreements that are straightforward, thorough and flexible enough to allow for reasonable change-of-life circumstances. Yet, when an agreement deprives a child of contact with a parent for substantial periods of time, we are equipped to pursue litigation over national and international boundaries.
Multi-state or multi-national laws may also involve issues of cultural, ethnic or religious differences that are not easily overcome without perspicacity and understanding. Our attorneys are sensitive to the needs of clients with cultural differences.
