Family Law

Massachusetts and New Hampshire Family Law Attorneys

The breakup of a marriage is uncharted territory for most people, and often a time of extreme turmoil. Even those who have been through a previous divorce cannot predict all the issues that may arise — or legal challenges that can come up years after the case concludes, especially if children are involved.

To put real experience and legal strength on your side in a family law matter, please contact us at the Lawrence, MA, firm of Wight & Roche.

Divorce — Child Custody Disputes — Complex Property Division — Child Support and Alimony — Parental Relocation Cases

Many years of helping people resolve family law problems throughout the Merrimack Valley and North Shore areas have prepared us well to assist you, whether your case appears straightforward or extremely complex. We develop clear plans aligned with our clients' priorities, targeting favorable outcomes in:

  • Uncontested or contested divorce, for men and women in a wide range of circumstances
  • High-asset divorces requiring division of millions in real estate, business interests, investments, and other types of property
  • Divorce cases involving disputes over child custody
  • Matters of child support and alimony
  • Family law problems arising after divorce or outside marriage, including interstate removal cases

An Empathetic, Practical Approach to the Most Personal Problems

We are practical, caring people who recognize that it isn't possible to take emotion out of a family law case. Still, among the most valuable services we can provide as lawyers is applying objectivity to help you form realistic goals and expectations.

Excellent ideas and solutions can arise from gathering multiple perspectives on a challenge. Attorneys Wight & Roche are a collaborative legal team and we have the advantage of having handled many cases in two different states. If your situation offers a choice of law — due to households and events crossing between Massachusetts and New Hampshire — we have the distinct advantage of being able to assess which jurisdiction may be more favorable.

Both of us — experienced attorneys Stephen Wight and James Roche — are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes with the greatest possible efficiency. This mission starts with a thorough, in-depth assessment of your situation, so we can prepare your case effectively and help prevent unpleasant surprises. Please contact us today to arrange a consultation.
