Divorce & family law

High-net-worth divorce and contested custody can restructure generational wealth, operating companies, and children's lives for decades. Hidden assets, business valuation fights, and DCF intervention move on court schedules that do not pause for negotiation. Orders entered in Probate and Family Court are difficult to unwind on appeal without trial preservation—making early counsel with appellate depth essential, not optional. Assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and parentage disputes involve statutes that lag behind medical practice. Founding partner Jennifer Lamanna has argued before the Supreme Judicial Court on parentage and impoundment questions that affect families statewide. High-conflict custody, relocation, and 209A overlap require trial counsel comfortable with GAL reports, evaluators, and emergency motions when children's stability is at immediate risk. Denner Lamanna follows a disciplined process—Confidential intake & strategy: We assess financial complexity, parenting conflict, DCF exposure, and whether trial or negotiated resolution is realistic before filings lock in positions. Financial discovery & experts: Forensic accountants, business valuators, and tracing analysis for closely held companies, trusts, and executive compensation. Parenting & protective litigation: Custody evaluations, GAL coordination, relocation analysis, and emergency motions when children's safety or stability is at immediate risk. Trial preparation: Financial and parenting cases are prepared for Probate and Family Court trial—with exhibits, experts, and cross-examination strategy when settlement fails. Judgment & appellate review: Post-judgment enforcement, modification strategy, and Appeals Court or SJC review when financial or parenting orders contain reversible error. Institutional defendants and opposing counsel deploy delay, denial, and resource advantages. Divorce & family law matters deserve trial-ready counsel from Boston who builds for courtroom advocacy—not volume docket management.
