Uncontested Divorce Cases
An uncontested divorce occurs when a husband and wife agree on all divorce-related issues, including child custody, child support and alimony before they go to court. Because the court does not have to make judgments on these topics, an uncontested divorce is a relatively straightforward process.
If the parties are in agreement, an uncontested divorce judgment may be granted in as little as five weeks. Divorce in Massachusetts becomes final 90 days after the entry of judgment.
Protecting Your Rights in Complex Property Division
In complex property division or high-asset divorce cases, it may be necessary for us to employ business valuation experts and forensic accountants to protect your business interests and retirement accounts.
We also provide sophisticated analysis to mitigate the long-term tax consequences divorce may have on income, investments, alimony, child support and the alternative minimum tax.

Massachusetts was the first state in the country to recognize gay marriage – the right of same-sex couples to marry. David M. Gabriel is proud to have represented nontraditional couples since the Commonwealth began issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
