In many cases, one spouse is ready for a divorce before the other one has adjusted to the idea of a legal marital separation or dissolution. An experienced family law attorney provides valuable advocacy, advice, and facilitation.

Despite the heartbreak of a marital break-up, many spouses in the process of divorce find that they are able to reach agreements on some issues (child custody, for example). At the same time, there may be strong disagreement blocking the way to a satisfactory settlement in other areas (such as equitable property distribution or spousal support).

Each separating couple's divorce -- acrimonious or agreeable -- is as unique as is each couple's marriage. There is no "one size fits all" approach to resolving all legal matters in a divorce. Listening carefully, returning phone calls, and making the effort to understand each client's preferences are all integral parts of the law practice of Massachusetts divorce lawyer Linda Nutting Cummings.

Collaborative methods may work for some couples. Massachusetts divorce lawyer Linda Nutting Cummings has a history of success facilitating settlement conferences designed to keep matters out of court.

In other cases, aggressive litigation is the most straightforward path to an acceptable resolution. As a former prosecutor, family law attorney Linda Nutting Cummings is an experienced litigator. She is compassionate, yet driven to achieve clients' goals in all aspects of divorce, including the following:

• Property division, including retirement accounts, pension plans, and possession or disposition of the marital home
• Child custody and visitation
• Child support -- to include unique medical needs, special education, or college tuition
• Domestic violence (seeking or responding to restraining orders)

Attorney Cummings handled domestic violence cases, among other things, as a prosecutor. Today, she works to preserve the rights of her clients involved in family assault allegations while pursuing favorable outcomes that former spouses or domestic partners can live with.

Attorney Linda Nutting Cummings is also glad to answer questions regarding retirement accounts and long-term marriages, pension plans, or post decree modifications. Contact the Law Offices of Linda Nutting Cummings to schedule a consultation.
