Divorce Representation Across the South Shore

Divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences a person faces. At Hera Law Group, we guide South Shore clients through every stage of the divorce process while working to protect their rights, finances, and families.

In Massachusetts, divorces may be uncontested (1A) or contested (1B). An uncontested divorce allows spouses who agree on all terms to resolve their case more efficiently through a Separation Agreement and a brief court appearance. A contested divorce involves court intervention when spouses cannot agree on key issues such as custody, support, or property division.

Most divorces in Massachusetts are no-fault, based on an “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” While fault-based divorces are available under limited circumstances, they are less common and require careful legal analysis.

Our South Shore divorce attorneys assist with:

  • Contested and uncontested divorces

  • Division of marital assets and liabilities

  • Child custody and parenting plans

  • Child support and alimony

  • Post-divorce modification and enforcement actions

High-Asset Divorce and Complex Financial Matters

Divorces involving substantial assets require advanced legal and financial insight. If your marital estate exceeds $1 million, your case may be classified as a high-asset divorce, involving business interests, real estate, investments, trusts, or retirement accounts.

Our attorneys work closely with financial professionals when necessary to ensure an accurate valuation and equitable division of assets. Protecting your financial future is a priority, particularly when complex holdings or inherited assets are involved.

Child Custody, Support, and Parenting Issues

Child-related matters are often the most sensitive aspect of family law cases. Hera Law Group represents South Shore parents in custody and support matters with a strong focus on the best interests of the child, while also protecting parental rights.

We handle:

  • Legal and physical custody disputes

  • Parenting time and visitation schedules

  • Child support determinations and enforcement

  • Paternity actions

  • Modification actions due to changed circumstances

When a Guardian ad Litem is appointed, our attorneys guide parents through the investigation process and ensure their rights are protected at every stage.

Mediation and Collaborative Divorce on the South Shore

Litigation is not always the best solution. For many families, mediation or collaborative divorce provides a more respectful, cost-effective, and child-focused alternative.

Through mediation, parties work together—often without attorneys present—to resolve disputes amicably. Collaborative divorce allows both spouses to retain counsel while committing to resolving issues outside the courtroom. These approaches can preserve relationships, reduce conflict, and allow families to maintain control over important decisions.

Hera Law Group advises South Shore clients on whether mediation or collaborative law is appropriate and represents clients throughout these processes when chosen.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are powerful tools for protecting assets, clarifying expectations, and reducing future conflict. Whether you are planning to marry or already married, our attorneys assist South Shore clients in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating enforceable agreements.

Common reasons clients pursue prenups and postnups include:

  • Protecting premarital assets and inheritances

  • Addressing future alimony

  • Allocating marital and separate property

  • Managing debt responsibilities

  • Preserving estate planning intentions

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

Estate Planning, Probate, and Elder Law Services

Family law often intersects with estate planning and elder law. Hera Law Group helps South Shore families plan proactively and navigate probate matters with clarity and care.

Our estate and probate services include:

  • Wills and trusts

  • Powers of attorney and health care proxies

  • HIPAA authorizations

  • Probate administration

  • Guardianships and conservatorships

We also assist families facing elder law issues, including long-term care planning and decision-making for aging loved ones.

International Family Law Matters

International divorce and custody cases introduce additional legal and logistical challenges, including jurisdictional issues and cross-border enforcement. Our attorneys have experience handling international family law matters and guiding clients through complex, multi-jurisdictional cases with diligence and discretion.

  • 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 ]
