Boston Family Law Lawyers Who Untangle Legal Complexities

+++++Legalization of “gay marriage” in Massachusetts in 2004 was an historic milestone, now matched with recognition of same sex marriages at the federal level and in all other states.
+++++With equality comes complexity, that our experienced Boston same sex divorce lawyers understand and know how to navigate. Divorce law is now uniform.
