USA – MASSACHUSETTS Law and Practice Contributed by: Steven E Gurdin, Barbara L Drury, Carlos A Maycotte, Stephen A MacKenzie and Kelly A Schwartz, Fitch Law Partners LLP
Fitch Law Partners LLP has family law/domestic re ‑ lations attorneys who skilfully handle complex and often hotly contested cases. They work tirelessly to achieve successful resolution to disputes concern ‑ ing the division of marital assets, child custody and visitation, alimony, domestic abuse, and permanent removal from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The firm excels in representing individuals in divorce cases involving high-value assets and complex finan ‑ cial issues, such as those that arise when the marital estate includes privately held corporations, limited partnerships, or trusts. Clients trust Fitch to effec ‑
tively resolve such issues – whether by comprehen ‑ sive settlement, mediation, or trial. The firm’s lawyers approach child custody disputes with the required sensitivity, but also realise that the stakes are high. They have successfully litigated child custody dis ‑ putes involving allegations of sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, alcoholism, and mental illness. Fitch also prepares and negotiates prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect accumulated wealth, inheritances, family trust interests, and busi ‑ ness interests in the event of divorce or death of a spouse.
