What We Do

Divorce

For consultation, case planning and strategy, negotiation, settlement or litigation, McCaig Law Offices is one of the strongest law firms in and around Boston, Massachusetts.

Your situation is unique. You may be faced with ending a long term marriage where there are concerns regarding high net worth property division and significant long term alimony. Another client’s case may center on obtaining custody and appropriate parenting plan and the relationship between child support and alimony are major issues.

We can help you whether your case is highly contested and we can also work with you if alternative dispute resolution is the best solution.
