Alimony aka Spousal Support

Even though there are certain caps concerning alimony in Massachusetts with the passage of the alimony reform law, it still stands true that just as a short-term marriage does not prevent an award of alimony, a long-term marriage does not guarantee alimony. But Massachusetts law requires only that alimony may be awarded in cases where it is “just and equitable.”

Child Custody

In Massachusetts, all custody decisions are based on the “best interests” of the child. While this is generally understood, many people do not know that every case involves two types of custody: Physical Custody and Legal Custody. Understanding the distinction between these types of custody is essential to your case.

Child Support

At Brabant & Huynh, we are here to help you establish, enforce, and when necessary, modify your child support orders. Massachusetts law requires that both parents support their children. As such, child support amounts are determined by specific formulas set forth in state law.  When determining child support, courts must follow the statutory formulas to determine the appropriate amount. Judges are permitted to deviate from the formula on the bases of specific factors, also set forth in the statutes.
