Divorce: Guiding You Through the Process
Divorce can be a complex and emotional process, but LaFountain & Wollman can guide you every step of the way. We assist with all aspects of divorce, including filing paperwork, negotiating settlements, and representing you in court when necessary. Our team helps address critical issues such as the division of property, child custody arrangements, spousal support, and parenting plans. We understand that every family has its own circumstances, so we tailor our approach to your specific circumstances and goals.

Mediation: Collaborative Solutions for Families
Mediation offers families in Norfolk County a constructive way to resolve disputes without going to court. At LaFountain & Wollman, we encourage mediation sessions that allow for open communication and collaboration between parties. Whether addressing child custody, property division, or financial support, mediation allows you to reach mutually agreeable solutions in a more private and less adversarial setting. The mediator’s role is to guide the discussion, ensuring all voices are heard and the process stays focused on finding resolutions that work for everyone involved. Mediation can save time, reduce stress, and preserve important relationships.
Division of Marital Property: Ensuring Fairness
Dividing marital property during a divorce can be one of the most challenging aspects of the process. At LaFountain & Wollman, we help families throughout Norfolk County achieve equitable outcomes when distributing assets and debts. Massachusetts law follows an equitable distribution standard, meaning property is divided fairly but not always equally. Our team will help you identify and classify assets as marital or separate, evaluate their value, and address any disputes that arise.
From homes and retirement accounts to business interests and personal property, we focus on protecting your financial future. With our guidance, you can make informed decisions that align with your goals while ensuring that the division of property reflects both fairness and your contributions during the marriage.
Alimony (Spousal Support): Balancing Financial Support
At LaFountain & Wollman, we assist clients in Norfolk County with alimony arrangements that reflect fairness and financial stability. Alimony, also known as spousal support, helps ensure that both parties can maintain reasonable financial independence after divorce. Massachusetts courts consider factors such as the length of the marriage, income levels, and each spouse’s needs when determining alimony. Whether you are seeking alimony or contesting a request, we work to protect your interests. Our goal is to secure an arrangement that respects your financial well-being and the contributions made during the marriage.
Child Custody: Prioritizing Your Child’s Best Interests
Child custody decisions are often the most sensitive part of a divorce or separation. The attorneys at LaFountain & Wollman work with parents throughout Norfolk County to create custody arrangements that prioritize their children’s well-being. Massachusetts courts focus on what serves the child’s best interests, considering factors like stability, parental involvement, and the ability to provide a nurturing environment.
We assist with parenting plans, physical and legal custody determinations, and modifications to existing agreements when necessary. Our team is dedicated to helping you protect your relationship with your child while ensuring their needs are met. By working closely with you, we aim to craft custody solutions that support your family’s future and maintain strong, healthy parent-child connections.
Child Support: Ensuring Financial Stability for Your Family
Our team assists parents in Norfolk County with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders. Child support ensures that both parents contribute to their child’s financial needs, including education, healthcare, and everyday expenses. Massachusetts uses specific guidelines to calculate child support, taking into account factors such as income, parenting time, and the child’s needs. Whether you are seeking support or addressing a payment issue, we provide the guidance you need to protect your child’s financial well-being. Our focus is on achieving fair solutions that uphold your family’s stability and security.
Paternity: Establishing Legal Parentage
Establishing paternity is a vital step in protecting a child’s legal rights and fostering meaningful parent-child relationships. At LaFountain & Wollman, we assist families in Norfolk County with the paternity process, whether through voluntary acknowledgment or legal proceedings. Establishing parentage is essential for determining custody, visitation, and child support.
