The breakup of a family is hard on everyone, but the children in such situations often suffer most. At Anchor Family Law, our attorneys and staff put a special emphasis on protecting children affected by their parents’ separation or divorce. We focus on helping parents communicate effectively with their children about the process they are experiencing. Solid and positive communication can help children better understand what is happening around them and reduce the trauma they might experience.

Putting Children First at Our SE Massachusetts Law Firm

When our law firm handles divorce cases involving children, we go the extra mile to ensure that their best interests are our top priority. We help clients develop ways to communicate positively with their kids. Whenever possible, we work to establish custody and visitation schedules that work for both parents and their children.
