Tracy Fischer Mediation

When going through a divorce, many people want to understand their options, especially when it comes to mediation.

Mediation is a process where two individuals, with the help of a neutral professional, work together to reach an agreement. It can be done at any stage of the divorce, although starting early is recommended. While some mediators are lawyers, they act as neutral facilitators, not representing either party. As a mediator, I provide legal information, not legal advice.

Probate court to hopefully add more judges:

From the Boston Globe on May 14th, 2023: "Massachusetts lawmakers appear poised to pass the largest one-time expansion of a state judicial bench since at least 2000, embracing plans to fortify a Probate and Family Court system that officials say is swamped with increasingly complex cases.

Judiciary leaders have pressed for the $1.6 million budget proposal, arguing that probate and family judges — who handle divorces, custody disputes, estate and guardianship cases, and adoptions — shoulder some of the largest, and thorniest, workloads in the court system. Judges can then take months to issue decisions, leaving families, children, and others in the lurch with what court officials acknowledge are 'intolerable delays'."
