Family Law / Divorce / Custody

For over 20 years, the attorneys of Grimaldi & Pesiridis, LLC have helped clients from counties all over Massachusetts navigate a wide variety of legal challenges.  Family Law, also known generally as Domestic Relations, is an area of law fraught with emotional stressors. Acknowledging this, we do everything possible to ensure that our clients are well represented during difficult transitions in the life of their families. Our goal is to listen carefully to our clients’ concerns and advocate for the best possible outcome. Regardless of whether a matter is financially complex or involves challenging parenting issues, our team can guide clients through the process and provide creative options and the necessary preparation for resolving the case.

The Grimaldi & Pesiridis, LLC Domestic Relations team provides experience in the areas of divorce, adoption, paternity, custody, parenting time, child support, alimony and prenuptial agreements, among many other related matters. We are also here for families who need assistance with actions in which a Modification of a previous Court Order or Judgment is sought, or to assist in the resolution of Contempt actions relating to previous Court Orders. Although we are able to settle a number of our cases through solid representation in a negotiation context, we advocate strongly for the best outcome in any forum.

Department of Children and Families (DCF)

When a client is investigated by DCF for neglect or abuse of a child or children, early action and legal intervention is critical in ensuring the best possible outcome. Following a DCF report of neglect or abuse there may be opportunities early in the investigation process for the agency to “screen out” the allegations, or to enter an “unsupported” finding against the caregiver. By getting involved early in the process, our attorneys can abate the potential exposure, thereby alleviating and/or avoiding severe consequences that can accompany DCF’s continued involvement with a family.

Mediation/Conciliation/Collaborative Law

Getting divorced is rarely ever easy, but it doesn’t have to be contentious and expensive either. Mediation can help you avoid the stress and negative impacts of litigation, including court evaluations and scrutiny of your family and resources. Unlike litigation, which pits you against your spouse and places your future in the hands of attorneys and the Court, Mediation allows you to resolve your divorce on your own terms and with your family’s specific needs in mind.
