Child Custody Determinations in Massachusetts
Massachusetts family law courts consider a number of factors in determining a child custody arrangement. Their focus is always on the best interests of the child involved.
Both physical and legal custody will need to be established. Physical custody refers to with whom the child will live/spend his or her time. Legal custody assigns a parent the right to make decisions about the child's health, education, and well-being.
Maria Ioannou-Begin understands that a long and contentious child custody battle is rarely in a child's best interests. She works closely with clients to determine an arrangement that will benefit each child involved. One option for settling a child custody dispute is collaborative law, a process in which parents and their respective attorneys attempt to negotiate binding terms without going to court. She can help you determine if this is a viable option for you.
