Jerry Wittenberg Attorney at Law in Salem, Massachusetts, handles family law matters, such as divorce, child custody and support, property division and post-divorce modifications, and consumer bankruptcy. Going through a divorce or a child custody battle may be the most difficult, emotionally wrenching experience of your life. You need a compassionate, experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated family law attorney to advocate for your best interests and to protect your rights.
It is important to know that family law issues likely will concern the two most important things in your life. Time with your children and protecting all the financial assets that you have worked so hard to accumulate are at risk in divorce actions. In custody and visitation matters, the courts are not so concerned with the parents' rights, nor with the fault of either of the parents when that fault does not impact the children. Rather, the court decides custody and parenting time matters according to the standard of the best interests of the children.
Peabody Divorce and Bankruptcy Attorney
It is human nature to feel wronged, angry and even vengeful when you are going through a divorce or trying to modify a post-divorce judgment. However, for the best interests of your children, it is important to try to forge a working relationship with the other parent whenever possible, as you will likely have to deal with him or her on the health, education, religious upbringing and welfare of your children.
Sometimes, a civil business-like relationship is the best that can be achieved with the other parent post-divorce and that may be enough to help your children through the challenges of living in a family with divorced parents.
