Divorce hurts. Even if you're the one who 'wants' it. If you seek a compassionate lawyer to help see you through this hurtful process, call Polly. If you and your spouse can't split in a friendly, respectful, and caring way, your kids are going to suffer, your bank account is going to suffer, and you are going to suffer. Mediation is a better idea. Our law firm offers mediation services designed to help families find solutions to divorce-related conflicts in a non-combative approach. Worcester divorce mediator Polly A. Tatum acts as a third-party neutral mediator to address conflicts in divorce mediation regarding child custody, child support, alimony and property division.

In addition to offering mediation services, Polly A. Tatum also represents clients as their attorney in contested divorces and guardianship disputes. She is highly skilled in family law, prepared to advocate in her clients' best interests or act as a neutral third party.
