Frequently Asked Questions
What is the residency requirement for divorce in Medford Massachusetts?
To file for divorce in Massachusetts one spouse must have lived in the state for at least one year. If both spouses live in Massachusetts the one year requirement still applies. Medford residents can file at the Middlesex Probate and Family Court in Cambridge.
How does Massachusetts determine child custody?
Massachusetts courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child standard. Factors include the childs emotional ties with each parent and each parents ability to provide care. The court may order joint legal custody or sole legal custody depending on the circumstances.
What are the grounds for divorce in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts allows no-fault divorce based on irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. A couple must show that the marriage has ended with no reasonable hope of reconciliation. Fault grounds like cruel treatment or adultery are available but rarely used.
