Family Law

Mr. Doucet has extensive experience in all areas of Family Law. Whether it is the delicate negotiation of a “pre-nup” (a marriage contract or a cohabitation agreement), or the skillful and tough resolution of a nasty separation, Mr. Doucet brings decades of trial and court experience to the table. Well known by lawyers and judges alike for a prepared and effective approach, Mr. Doucet has clients referred to him by both former clients and lawyers alike. The reason is simple – he gets results.

The complexity of matrimonial law is not for the part-timer or the inexperienced lawyer. Courts are regularly setting aside improperly drafted marriage contracts and separation agreements. Complex issues such as valuation of family assets, and the increasingly confusing issues surrounding spousal support require more and more specialization in this type of litigation.

Mr. Doucet offers free initial consultation to anyone who is undergoing the uncertainty of a potential family law problem. Consultations can be arranged in person, by phone, or by Skype most days with little or no delay.

Mr. Doucet takes pride in providing effective solutions sooner rather than later. In a separation or divorce, time waiting for a solution tends to open wounds, not heal them.
