Family Law

As an experienced family law practitioner, I understand the emotional and financial hardships that accompany divorce, custody disputes and related issues. The isolation, the frustrations and the choices you face can be overwhelming, and the outcome will affect you and your children for years to come.

My name is Elizabeth Stiritz. As your attorney, I will be there for you during this stressful period in your life to provide the compassionate counsel and competent representation you need. I will help you safeguard the interests of your children and your rightful share of the assets you have worked hard to acquire during your lifetime.

In 30 years of law practice, I have represented hundreds of clients in probate court (family court) in Norfolk County, Suffolk County, Plymouth County and other jurisdictions of Massachusetts. I am well-versed in the law and, often just as importantly, familiar with the practice in each family court.

This focused knowledge enables me to advocate effectively for clients in all areas of family law:

• Divorce and Asset Division
• Agreements for Uncontested Divorce
• Child Custody Arrangements
• Alimony and Child Support
• Paternity Actions
• Modifications and Enforcement of Orders
• Domestic Violence and 209A Restraining Orders

I am an accomplished civil trial lawyer and a certified divorce mediator. I receive a steady stream of referrals from other attorneys who recommend me as a specialist in family law. I also receive many referrals from satisfied clients who appreciated my personal attention, moral support and perseverance on their behalf.

I take the time to understand your situation, your concerns and your goals, so that I can offer my honest assessment and a sound legal strategy. I also take great care in preparing your asset and/or liability profile to the court including your financial statement, which is so central to every aspect of divorce. I believe that the extra effort pays off in the final outcome, whether your case is resolved through negotiations, mediation or contested court proceedings.
