How we help Newburyport families:
Brigantine Law handles the full range of family law matters for Newburyport families, backed by deep experience in Essex and Middlesex County courts.
Newburyport families bring us divorces, custody disputes, support cases, estate plans, and the difficult situations in between. Our attorney works with both the Salem and Lawrence sessions of the Essex Probate and Family Court regularly, and we prepare and file everything on your behalf.
High-conflict cases call for a different approach: limiting direct contact, putting communication in writing, and letting the court see the pattern. When a divorce involves intimidation, control, or a spouse who turns every exchange into a battle, you need an attorney who has handled exactly these situations before.
Newburyport's downtown is full of small businesses, galleries, restaurants, and shops built by their owners. When a business owner divorces, or plans an estate, the business itself needs protecting. We handle valuation, division, and succession planning with the financial depth this firm is known for.
Our office is about 25 minutes down Route 1 in Topsfield, and we meet Newburyport clients by video or in the evening whenever that's easier.

Start with answers, not appointments. These guides and tools were written by our attorney for the questions Newburyport clients ask first.
Newburyport is in Essex County, so divorce, custody, guardianship, and probate matters are heard by the Essex Probate and Family Court, which sits in Salem (36 Federal Street) and Lawrence (Fenton Judicial Center, 2 Appleton Street). We prepare and file everything on your behalf, in the session appropriate for your case.
In practice, no. Most of the work on a family law matter happens by phone, email, and video, and we offer evening and video consultations for Newburyport clients. When in-person matters arise, we're about 25 minutes down Route 1, with parking on site.
With structure, documentation, and firm boundaries. High-conflict cases call for a different playbook: limiting direct contact, putting communication in writing, and letting the court see the pattern. Our attorney has extensive experience protecting clients in exactly these situations.
