In his book The Truth about Children and Divorce, psychologist and researcher Dr. Robert E. Emery discusses the key to children's resilience in coping with divorce. His research shows that couples and families demonstrate that what parents do after divorce - how they parent, how they handle their emotions, how they relate to each other and work together - is the key to children's resilience and coping with divorce.
The Supreme Judicial Court today issued an order updating the status of operations at state courts and courthouses. How will alimony be calculated in Massachusetts, now that for orders entered after 12/31/18 it is not deductible to the person paying? There is no definite answer to that question, unfortunately.

Report
Cynthia was a superb attorney. She was thoughtful, represented my interests professionally, provided invaluable advice and guidance, and worked well with the other side reducing the antagonism and potential hostility. Cynthia was diligent and prompt in returning calls and emails and often attempted to bring issues to a speedy and less expensive conclusion. Importantly, Cynthia consistently looked to the long term in her work and counsel to me. I enthusiastically recommend Attorney Sullivan!
