Divorce Planning in Massachusetts
Divorce isn’t just the end of a relationship—it’s the start of a new financial life. And in Massachusetts, with its unique laws and high cost of living, the money side of divorce can be just as overwhelming as the emotional side.
At Breakwater Capital, we work with people going through divorce to help them get organized, feel empowered, and plan for whatever comes next.
Massachusetts Divorce Law
Massachusetts follows an “equitable distribution” model. That means the courts aim for a fair—not necessarily equal—division of assets. Depending on your income, property, how long you were married, and whether you have children, things can get complicated fast.
From dividing real estate in Boston or the suburbs to figuring out retirement accounts and spousal support, it’s easy to miss important details without the right guidance.
Divorce Experts and Financial Planning Massachusetts
We’ve worked with clients across the state—professionals in Cambridge, parents in Newton, business owners in the North Shore—each with their own set of questions and concerns. How will the divorce affect my lifestyle? Will I be able to retire on time? Should I keep the house?

We work closely with you (and your attorney, if you have one) to answer those questions honestly, lay out your options, and help you feel more in control—no matter how messy things might feel right now.
What to Consider During Divorce
Money touches every part of a divorce. From how assets are split to how alimony or child support is calculated, every decision has a ripple effect. You’ll want to think about cash flow, taxes, future housing, health insurance, college savings—the list goes on.
The key is not rushing through it just to get it over with. The decisions you make now will impact your future. A good financial advisor can help you slow down, sort through the noise, and build a plan that works for you—not just on paper, but in real life.
