Driven to Get the Results You Need
Most legal, financial and emotional issues have numerous possible solutions. Sometimes the biggest challenge is deciding how to address and resolve your legal matter. Whether you are struggling with how to end your marriage and get a divorce, dealing with a child custody dispute, considering bankruptcy or trying to decide which estate planning documents you need, an experienced lawyer can help.
At Moniz & Mendes, P.C., we take the time to explain each option to our clients, and we help them understand the costs and benefits of each. We listen to our clients and their stories, and we help them craft a solution that is appropriate for their situation. We offer clients throughout the North Shore and the surrounding communities in Massachusetts legal counsel in the following areas:
- Divorce and Family Law: We offer clients the representation they need in their divorce and family law matters, including alimony; child custody; child support; paternity cases; property division; and modification, enforcement, and contempt of existing court orders or judgments.
- Child Custody and Support: We work with clients to create workable custody arrangement and parenting plan that is in the family's best interest. If there has been a significant change of circumstances, we also modify existing arrangements. We also assist clients in matters relating to child support, including obtaining a child support order, enforcement and modification of existing orders.
- Division of Assets: We help clients equitably divide all marital property, including real estate, bank and investment accounts, retirement accounts and benefits, and family business assets. We also help our clients understand the tax consequences of various property division options.
- Divorce Mediation: We work with couples who do not want to litigate every aspect of their divorce and want to resolve their divorce, including high conflict and contested issues in a less adversarial and cost effective manner.
- Debt Relief: We help clients who are facing foreclosure, wage garnishment or overwhelming credit card debt find the debt relief they need through bankruptcy. We help clients determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is appropriate for their situation.
