Contact us for a free and confidential initial consultation.
🤝 Divorce Representation
Divorce representation in both contested and uncontested matters. Our law office has represented mothers, fathers, and grandparents through the full scope of contested divorce proceedings where one or both parties fought bitterly over every small detail. We have also handled a number of amicable no-fault divorce proceedings where the parties stayed out of court and made their own private arrangements.
💵 Alimony & Child Support
Our lawyers are skilled at negotiating and litigating family support matters. We know how to apply the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines to ensure that our clients are treated fairly.
👨👩👧 Parenting Plans & Custody
At the Law Offices of Eric Mercer, we focus on fighting hard to keep our clients’ children out of the exclusivity of one parent’s household. Our lawyers focus on helping encourage substantial contact between parents and their children regularly, after divorce.
🧑 Father’s Rights
Our attorneys also help fathers push back against judicial biases that can harm their rights during divorce. If you believe that your spouse plans to file for full legal and/or physical custody of your child after the divorce, we can help you protect your relationship with your child.
👶 Never-Married Parents
Never-married couples with children also need legal assistance with their custody, parenting time, and support actions. The presumption of joint shared legal custody during and after divorce matters as well as legitimation matters, so we are here to help modify and share that aspect as necessary.
📞 Free Initial Consultations
We offer prospective clients the opportunity to meet with a skilled family law attorney to discuss your situation in confidence and with no obligation. Cost-effective, accessible family law services.

01
Over 30 Years of Experience
Over 30 Years of Experience Working With Massachusetts Family Law Issues. The process of going through a divorce, or dealing with other types of family law court matters, is often complex and conflicted. Having worked with these types of issues for over 30 years, we’ve been around long enough to have seen it all. An experienced lawyer and team can help you find the best path of least resistance through those legal entanglements.
02
Client-Focused Approach
Client-Focused Approach That Values Your Time and Money. At our firm, you are always our primary focus. We do everything we can to be clear and up front with expectations, and that starts with our communication with you. Our law office has been designed to be a comfortable and calm environment to help put your concerns at ease. We also make sure to take the mystery out of the legal process, explaining legalese and making sure you understand what to expect from point A to point Z. The cost of your case should never be an unknown. Our law office offers value for your dollar when it comes to legal services – it’s what we do best. We know that time is money, and you may not have a ton of either. So we work to help you achieve your goals in an efficient manner, providing services you can afford.
03
A Commitment to Fathers’ Rights
A Commitment to Fathers’ Rights. There are a lot of issues that come into play with family law situations – one of the biggest ones is father’s rights. Many fathers have issues with state courts, judges and family court magistrates who are biased toward mothers when it comes to custody, visitation, child support, alimony and other areas. Having an experienced trial attorney with proven fathers’ rights experience can make the difference in child-related matters.
04
Affordable Fees & Free Consultation
Affordable Fees. We understand more than most that budgets can be tight for individuals when they need the services of an attorney the most. That’s why all consultations are free – you will never be charged to speak with our team about your case. From there, we’ll quote a price that’s affordable for your human resources budget, but not skimping on the legal work. Actions speak louder than words though, to schedule a free, initial consultation and to get started working toward resolution today!
