Family Law

Boston Divorce Attorney

For over 15 years, Hu Law Office has served as a trusted advisor and advocate for clients facing divorce and other family law issues in the Boston area. We understand the complexity of family dynamics and respect our clients’ desire to resolve family disputes quickly and effectively.

Hu Law Office provides honest and straightforward legal advice and assertive yet compassionate representation for individuals in divorce, modification, child custody and visitation, and child support matters in Massachusetts. We regularly represent clients in Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk Family and Probate Courts.

Divorce: In Massachusetts, an individual does not need to prove “fault” to obtain a divorce, and most divorces are filed on the grounds of an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Hu Law Office has over a decade of experience guiding our clients through the complex process of divorce and reaching favorable resolutions through mediation and negotiated settlements. We are also equipped to aggressively pursue our clients’ legal rights in court in cases of contested divorce.

Alimony: Various factors go into the determination of whether and how much one spouse will receive as alimony or spousal support from the other after a divorce, including the length of the marriage and the assets, income, and needs of the parties. At Hu Law Office, we understand the ins and outs of the alimony factors and work diligently to ensure our clients receive the most favorable alimony award possible.

Child Support: Child support determinations in Massachusetts are calculated using the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines, which take into account both spouses’ income and child-rearing expenses. Hu Law Office regularly represents parents seeking child support, as well as the enforcement and modification of existing child support orders.

Property Division: In Massachusetts, all assets owned by either party in a marriage are subject to equitable division in divorce, no matter how or when the assets were acquired. All property is subject to division, including pensions, retirement plans, and inheritances. Hu Law Office works diligently to discover and account for all marital assets and fights for our clients to get the best possible settlement in a divorce.

Child Custody & Visitation: There is perhaps no more sensitive issue during a separation or divorce proceeding than child custody and visitation. At Hu Law Office we work with our clients to understand the unique aspects of each child custody dispute, and we are experienced in negotiating optimal parenting plans and custody arrangements that suit the best interests of both parent and child.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can alleviate uncertainties in a marriage and save time and energy in the event of divorce. Hu Law Office drafts and negotiates prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that protect our clients’ assets while complying with the strict legal standards set by Massachusetts courts.

If you are involved in a separation, divorce, modification, custody dispute, or other family law matter, or you are looking for advice regarding a family law issue, please contact Hu Law Office.
