Whether you are in the process of divorce, involved in a post divorce dispute, or have never been married, child custody and your parenting plan (formerly referred to as visitation) is often the most difficult part of any family law issue.

Parents in Massachusetts are required to provide financial support for their children, whether they are divorced, separated, or have never been married.

Cases involving child support can occur through a divorce action, a paternity action, or in various post-divorce or other actions, such as a modification based on a material change in circumstances sine entry of the original child support order (i.e., loss of a job or conversely, a significant increase in income), or through a contempt action where one party fails or is delinquent in making support payments.

In the situation where one party violates the terms of the divorce judgment, it may be necessary to seek the court's assistance to rectify the situation and to require compliance with the terms of the separation agreement and judgment. This process is initiated with a complaint for contempt.

Common areas where a contempt may be pursued concern child support, alimony or spousal support, parenting issues, property distribution and division of assets.In many cases, issues will arise even years after a divorce, often involving issues regarding children as they have grown and their needs have changed, or financial issues where there is a change in income or, in the case of alimony or spousal support, of living conditions.
