Divorce & Family Law Services We Handle

Hampshire County divorces rarely involve just one issue. Property, children, and financial support are often intertwined, and we’re equipped to handle each of them. We represent clients in both contested divorce proceedings and uncontested divorces where the parties have agreed on all terms.

Our practice covers the full range of matters that arise during and after divorce:

• Property division under Massachusetts equitable distribution standards
• Spousal support and alimony negotiations and litigation
• Child custody, visitation, and parenting plans
• Child support calculation and enforcement
• Restraining orders and protective orders
• Post-divorce modifications and contempt actions
• Separation agreements, prenuptial agreements, and annulments
• Same-Sex Divorce and military divorce

Massachusetts is an equitable distribution state, meaning courts divide marital property fairly rather than splitting it down the middle. Division of retirement accounts, business interests, and real estate can become complicated fast. We work through these issues with clients from the start, not after they’ve become a problem.

Why Hampshire County Clients Choose Hebert Law Offices

Most attorneys handling divorce in western Massachusetts operate as solo practitioners focused on mediation. We bring a full team capable of both negotiated settlements and contested litigation. That distinction matters when a cooperative case suddenly becomes a courtroom dispute.

Attorney Recognition & Credentials

Attorney Hebert’s background in the U.S. Air Force Reserves Military Police shapes a disciplined, direct approach to litigation. She has been recognized by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys with the “10 Best” honor, holds a Superb rating on Avvo, and received the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award, including being voted Top Divorce Attorney in two separate years. Attorney Wilcox was honored with the William J. LeDoux Award in November 2025. The firm is also ranked in the Top 10 by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys.

What Clients & Peers Say

Client reviews consistently describe our attorneys as tireless litigators who also provide genuine emotional support throughout the process. We tailor legal strategy to each client’s individual goals, family circumstances, and history. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Peer endorsements within the Massachusetts family law community reflect the same: Hebert Law Offices is a firm other attorneys trust and respect.

Hampshire Probate & Family Court in Northampton

Divorce cases for Hampshire County residents are filed with the Hampshire Probate and Family Court in Northampton, MA. The court serves all cities and towns in Hampshire County and maintains a satellite office at the Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown.

Cases typically move through case management conferences, financial disclosures, and negotiation periods before any hearing or trial. When parties resolve their issues, the court enters the agreed judgment. When they don’t, a judge hears the contested matters and issues a ruling. We prepare our clients for each stage so procedural deadlines and court requirements don’t catch them off guard.

How the Massachusetts Divorce Process Works

Massachusetts divorce proceeds along one of two paths depending on whether the spouses agree. Spouses who agree on all terms file a joint petition together. This is the uncontested 1A route, without needing to serve one another. Spouses who can’t agree file a complaint for divorce, which must be served on the other spouse, and proceed through the contested 1B process involving discovery, case management conferences, and potentially a trial.

The filing fee is $215. Key issues resolved during the process include division of marital property, spousal support, child custody and parenting plans, and child support. Even contested cases often settle through negotiation before trial. Post-judgment modifications to custody, support, or other terms are possible when circumstances materially change after the divorce is finalized.

We explain how factors like length of marriage, income disparity, and parenting roles may shape outcomes at the Hampshire Probate and Family Court. This helps clients understand what’s realistic before making decisions.
