Leominster Divorce Lawyers
Massachusetts Family Law Mediation/Litigation Attorney
Family legal disputes, including those involving divorce, can become contentious very quickly. Your rights as a parent, the well-being of minor children, personal interests, financial security, and legal rights are at stake and can be affected at every turn of the settlement or litigation process. To preserve your options and to protect your children, it is essential to consult an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Diverse Skills and Comprehensive Solutions
Attorney Robert A. Antonioni and attorney Robert A. Mason appear in the probate and family court on a weekly basis, where divorce cases are determined. They are known and respected by the judges who sit on these cases, and the area attorneys who practice in this area. This familiarity with the court environment where divorces are resolved is invaluable to our clients.
Attorney Robert A. Antonioni has litigated hundreds of divorce cases, and can provide his clients with a steady presence and practical advice in these contentious situations.
Our experienced attorneys know that, oftentimes, one legal issue can have a ripple effect on other related issues such as a divorce involving parents who want to co-parent one or more minor children, a parent who wants to re-locate with one or more minor children out of state, competing child custody and visitation arrangements, child support or alimony, or the division of real estate and/or personal property with significant financial or emotional value.
Our firm offers a comprehensive range of services to address any issues that may come up during and after your divorce. Our lawyers will take the time to understand the unique facts of your case, develop a legal strategy and work aggressively with you to achieve the outcome you seek.
Attorney Robert A. Antonioni has considerable experience, as well, in litigating divorce actions between same-sex spouses, following the change in Massachusetts law permitting marriage between gay and lesbian people. As state Senator, Bob Antonioni supported the rights of gay and lesbian people to marry and have the same rights and opportunities that our Constitution guarantees to all Massachusetts citizens.

Divorce and Family Law Mediation Services
Going through a divorce or other legal dispute is always challenging. One way to mitigate the time and expense of family legal issues is to pursue alternative dispute resolution, including mediation. Mediation services are available in divorce, paternity, custody, support and visitation cases. Our attorneys Robert Antonioni and Robert Mason have assisted hundreds of people in mediating these complex cases. We know that family issues can be difficult, emotionally and financially.
Our lawyers will counsel you throughout every step of the mediation process, and help you and your family move forward as quickly as possible without the emotional strain and cost of a contested divorce. We address all of the same issues in our mediation practice that are involved in litigation, including:
- Occupancy of the marital home during the divorce
- Payment of bills for the home, or one or both parties during the divorce
- Custody of minor children
- Child support
- Alimony/spousal support
- Future obligations re: college for minor children
- Visitation rights and co-parenting
- Division or sale of real estate and personal property
- Sale or division of a home, investment property or a family business
- Health and dental insurance for all parties
- Tax deductions for the marital home and minor children
- Tax and estate planning during and after a divorce
- Life insurance
- Extracurricular expenses for minor children
- Care for a disabled child or parent
- Fathers' rights
- Grandparent visitation
- Relocation of a parent and child from Massachusetts to another state
- Military divorce
You can avoid the emotional stress of contested litigation, and save thousands of dollars by avoiding litigation and mediating your divorce with our experienced mediators. Divorce litigation is usually three or four times more expensive than mediation, and is often prolonged. If you and your spouse can sit in the same room together and talk, mediation may be the right process for you.
In many cases, the hardest thing to do is admit that there is a problem and make the first visit to consult with a lawyer involving the breakdown of your marriage. Our client service extends beyond our legal capabilities: We offer referrals to external resources, such as health care or tax professionals, who can assist you and your family during this transitional period.
