		<description><![CDATA[By Massachusetts divorce lawyer and mediator Katherine Thomas Forget abut death and taxes, what about divorce and taxes? If you are getting a Massachusetts divorce, you have a lot to think about.   To make matters even more interesting, tax season is here. Please curtail your excitement. Tax commercials flood the airwaves, people stand in silly costumes by the side of the road, and the W2s have arrived.  CPAs retreat to the dark, deep chambers of their lairs. Completing and filing taxes can be painful enough (especially when you find out you owe more money to Uncle Sam), but couples who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Attorney Katherine Thomas There is a strong correlation between animal abuse and domestic violence. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence conducted a study where 85.4 percent of women and 63 percent of children reported incidents of pet abuse after arriving at a shelter for domestic violence victims. On October 31, 2012, a new law went into effect in Massachusetts, which recognizes this correlation and offers protection to pets in domestic violence cases.   To read the new law, you can click here. Under the new law, a court may order through a restraining order, the possession, care and control [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Colleen Cunnally &#38; Stephen McDonough &#8211; Massachusetts divorce lawyers and mediators at The Divorce Collaborative LLC. Prior to entering into a marriage ceremony in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, couples must apply for a marriage license at a town or city hall.   The application takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.  There is a mandatory three-day waiting period before the license is issued. That&#8217;s the easy part! The Massachusetts divorce process is neither quick nor simple.  Unless a couple is without assets or children, the divorce process is more involved than sometimes portrayed.  Although someone might take years to decide to initiate a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Massachusetts divorce lawyer and mediator Stephen McDonough of  The Divorce Collaborative LLC The marital home is oftentimes a couple’s largest financial asset. Unfortunately, home values remain depressed and your real estate is also probably your largest expense. Part of property settlement discussions surrounding a divorce whether you are in divorce mediation or having a litigated, court-based case, involves whether one spouse or the other – or neither &#8211; should stay in the house.  Before agreeing to take over the house, also known as the marital home, do your homework and consider these  helpful pointers: First, check your credit score.  [...]]]></description>

I admit, my family is a little dog crazy. Our dog obsession is not unusual.  I recently read Americans spend 50 BILLION dollars [...]]]></description>

But, BAH HUMBUG, what if you and your ex-spouse have differing ideas about what is appropriate holiday fun? Every parent wants to be the fun parent.  No one likes to be the Grinch, but what do you do if your ex-spouse’s overindulgence of the kids leaves you feeling like Scrooge? Or, what if the guilt of getting a divorce is turning into trying to make up for it by buying your child lots of [...]]]></description>

Before I continue with explaining the wrong way for you to find a collaborative divorce lawyer in Massachusetts, you may be asking yourself this question: &#8220;Self, just what is collaborative divorce?&#8221; Collaborative divorce is an out of court process involving a cooperative, team-based approach.  Both parties have their own attorney that received special training in the collaborative dispute resolution process.   For more information on collaborative divorce, please click here to be transported through the interweb to our section about collaborative divorce.

Combine the regular parenting and custody issues such as communications and coordinating transportation and swirl in a Hurricane/Nor&#8217;easter for even more excitement!   The power just went off for the record.  Seriously.

		<description><![CDATA[Domestic Violence Awareness Month by Attorney &#38; Mediator Katherine Thomas October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence is not just limited to physical abuse. Domestic violence can be any physical, emotional, sexual or psychological action that one person uses to gain power or control over another. Domestic violence is not limited by gender, age, or race. In fact, men account for 15% of all domestic violence victims. Women between the ages of 16 and 24 are the most vulnerable to domestic violence. On average, three women lose their lives to domestic violence every day.
