Visitation with grandparents, aunts, uncles, can they be supervised?

Additional Information: My husband and will be getting divorced. We are amicable and have decided together that the children will live with me in our home in Framingham, and see their dad every other weekend and Wednesday nights. My first question is: will a divorce attorney help us figure out a visitation schedule for grandparents and aunts/uncles who will want to see the kids? Second, can I request that these visits be supervised by me? I want to be around because I worry that they will say negative things about me to the kids. ATTORNEY ANSWER: The first question is whether it is even a good idea to discuss a visitation schedule for grandparents and aunts and uncles who want to see the kids. If you are that concerned about the welfare of the children that you feel the need to have supervised visits, why legislate that into the Separation Agreement? You may be granting more rights to the extended relatives and responsibilities to yourself that may be unnecessary and burdensome. The solution to the problem may be to have your divorce attorney negotiate a more liberal parenting plan with your husband so that he and his family can spend […]

I was in an automobile accident while at work, what are my legal rights?

MORE INFORMATION: While I was on my way to see a customer, my car was struck in the rear by an SUV. I was stopped at red light. The car was completely totaled. The police and ambulance arrived soon after the crash and I was taken to the hospital. I had multiple injuries, including a herniated disc in my back. I was in the hospital for a few days before being discharged. I was diligent about seeing my doctors and doing physical therapy. I have not felt the same since the accident, however, and my doctors told me that while I can return to work, I will have to “take it easy” and not lift anything heavier than 15 pounds and this condition is likely to be permanent and may worsen as I get older. What are my legal rights? ATTORNEY ANSWER: This problem presents two claims. One is for an injury on the job because the employee was on his way to see a customer. This is referred to as the “coming and going rule” in workers’ compensation and permits the injured employee to get paid for his medical bills and a percentage of his lost wages while disabled. […]

How do I go about getting a liquor license in Framingham, MA?

MORE INFORMATION: I’m considering buying a small restaurant in Framingham, MA. It seats no more than 30 people and has a small bar that seats 6. I’d like to be sure I can serve alcoholic beverages (beer & wine). What are the eligibility requirements and what do I need to consider to obtain the proper liquor license in Framingham? ATTORNEY ANSWER: The first consideration in the purchase of a restaurant that has a small seating capacity is whether the cost of obtaining a liquor license makes financial sense because the demand for alcoholic beverage licenses in most communities is much greater than the supply. In many cities and towns, the starting purchase price starts at $100,000 and can be much higher, depending upon the location.
