What courts handle divorce in Essex County?

Divorces in Essex County are processed in either the Salem Probate and Family Court or Lawrence Probate and Family Court, depending on your location.

Can Matthew help if I’m facing false allegations of abuse?

Yes, part of Matthew’s expertise lies in handling false allegations and ensuring you receive a fair hearing in court.  Allegations of abuse can prevent you from getting a fair hearing in divorce court, with restraining orders and criminal charges can mean you will not see your children before the divorce court even sees you.  It takes an aggressive defense to counter this.
