A divorce can reshape your finances, your parenting responsibilities, and your day-to-day life. We guide clients through the Massachusetts divorce process, including:
Some cases resolve through negotiation, while others require litigation. We prepare you for every step.
Parenting issues often carry the most emotion. Whenever possible, we help parents reach agreements outside of court, where they have more control and flexibility. When litigation becomes necessary, we advocate for a plan that reflects the best interests of your child.
Our work includes:
Establishing legal parentage is essential for securing rights and responsibilities for both parents and children. We assist with voluntary acknowledgments, court actions, genetic testing, and all related custody or support concerns.
Prenuptial agreements help couples begin marriage with transparency and a clear understanding of financial expectations. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and finalizing agreements that protect your interests and meet Massachusetts legal standards.
Many families resolve issues outside of court. We assist with:
These approaches often reduce conflict and lead to more lasting agreements.
Life changes after divorce, and court orders often need to change with it. We assist with:
Whether a former spouse is not following the order or circumstances have shifted, we help restore stability.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Attorney Richard Reade during my divorce process. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care made a significant difference in what could have been an overwhelming experience. As an immigrant without knowing much about the law in the States, going through divorce was stressful and scary to me. Richard took his time to explain the law to me, walk me step by step through the process and was always helpful. He put my nerves at ease right away and I knew I was in good hands. This was such a relief and definitely needed during such a challenging time. I would recommend Richard Reade to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate divorce attorney. I am forever grateful for his guidance and support throughout this difficult journey.
