Divorce Representation in MetroWest Massachusetts

Divorce is rarely easy, regardless of circumstances. At Hera Law Group, we help MetroWest clients understand the divorce process in Massachusetts and guide them through each stage with clarity and care. Massachusetts divorces are categorized as uncontested (1A) or contested (1B). An uncontested divorce allows spouses who agree on all terms to resolve their matter efficiently through a Separation Agreement and a brief court appearance. A contested divorce occurs when one spouse files without an agreement in place and court involvement becomes necessary to resolve disputed issues.

Most divorces in Massachusetts are no-fault, based on an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Fault-based divorces are available in limited circumstances but are less commonly pursued and require specific legal considerations.

Our MetroWest divorce attorneys assist with:

  • Contested and uncontested divorces

  • Property division and asset allocation

  • Child custody and parenting plans

  • Child support and alimony

  • Post-divorce modification and contempt actions

High-Asset Divorce and Complex Financial Cases

When significant assets are involved, divorce becomes more complex. A high-asset divorce, generally involving marital assets of $1 million or more, may include business interests, real estate holdings, investments, trusts, or retirement accounts. Our attorneys work to ensure that marital assets are properly identified, valued, and divided in accordance with Massachusetts law. Protecting your financial interests and long-term stability is a central focus of our representation in complex MetroWest divorce cases.

Child Custody, Support, and Family-Centered Solutions

Issues involving children require thoughtful, measured advocacy. Hera Law Group represents MetroWest parents in custody and support matters with a focus on protecting parental rights while promoting the best interests of the child.

We handle:

  • Legal and physical custody disputes

  • Parenting time and visitation schedules

  • Child support determinations and enforcement

  • Paternity actions

  • Modification actions due to changes in circumstances

When a Guardian ad Litem is appointed, our attorneys help clients understand the investigation process and advocate for fair and accurate outcomes.

Mediation and Collaborative Law in MetroWest

Not every family law dispute needs to be resolved in court. Mediation and collaborative law offer alternatives that may reduce conflict, save time, and provide families with greater control over the outcome. Mediation allows parties to work together—often without attorneys present—to resolve disputes cooperatively. Collaborative divorce involves both spouses retaining counsel while committing to resolving matters outside of litigation. These approaches can be especially beneficial for families seeking privacy and long-term cooperation.

Hera Law Group advises MetroWest clients on whether mediation or collaborative law is appropriate and provides representation throughout these processes when selected.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can play a critical role in protecting assets and setting expectations within a marriage. Our attorneys assist MetroWest clients in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating enforceable agreements tailored to their unique circumstances.

Common reasons for entering into a prenup or postnup include:

  • Protecting premarital assets and inheritances

  • Defining future alimony obligations

  • Allocating marital and separate property

  • Addressing debts brought into the marriage

  • Preserving estate planning goals

Proper timing and independent legal advice are essential to enforceability. Our attorneys ensure agreements comply with Massachusetts law and are structured to withstand future challenges.

Estate Planning, Probate, and Elder Law Services

Family law matters often intersect with estate planning and elder law. Hera Law Group helps MetroWest families plan proactively and navigate probate matters with confidence.

Our services include:

  • Wills and trusts

  • Durable powers of attorney and health care proxies

  • HIPAA authorizations

  • Probate administration

  • Guardianships and conservatorships

We also provide guidance in elder law matters, including long-term care planning and legal decision-making for aging loved ones.

International Family Law Matters

International divorce and custody cases involve additional layers of complexity, including jurisdictional and cross-border issues. Hera Law Group has experience assisting clients in international family law matters and guiding them through legally and logistically challenging situations with care and precision.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Levin Piro, and specifically, Chris Wurster. I went to this firm with a very personal situation and was treated with respect, advised honestly, and communicated with constantly throughout my time working with Chris. I find the experience of having to work with an attorney daunting but I did not once feel that this experience was anything other than helpful and sincere. I refer anyone I know here and recommend them without a second of hesitation. Also, their services are worth every last penny. Thank you, Chris, for all you did for me! [ Google Review ]

  • I started working with Alanna toward the beginning of this year and I wanted you to know how helpful she has been during my divorce. She has the perfect balance of assertiveness and empathy. She helped to bring my contested divorce to an uncontested one. Our hearing was this morning and I’m honestly going to miss working with her. I don’t think many people will say they will miss their divorce attorney but she’s become part of my support system. She made me laugh when I needed it most and listened to me during the process of what was most important as a divorce outcome. She’s very good at what she does. [ Google Review ]
