Catherine E. Spanu

overview

Catherine Spanu is an associate in the Private Client Group. She represents clients in divorce alimony, child support, child custody, and removal matters, post-divorce modification actions, complaints to establishing maternity and paternity, complaints for contempt, and drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. She also assists clients in guardianship, conservatorship, and other probate litigation matters.

Divorce can touch every aspect of Catherine’s clients’ lives. Her clients often worry about their children, their children’s financial future, their own financial futures, where they’re going to live, and their path forward. Catherine instills calm into often stressful situations by providing smart legal counsel and working with her clients every step of the way to ensure her clients’ rights and their children’s rights are protected. She takes care to deliver the truth of a situation – even if it’s not exactly what her clients want to hear – as preparedness is second to none in the legal system.

Catherine previously worked at a small firm specializing in family law in Newton and served as a judicial clerk to the justices of the Probate and Family Court in Middlesex, Essex, Plymouth, and Worcester counties, working on a wide variety of domestic relations, probate and equity matters.

A classically trained soprano, Catherine worked as a freelance musician prior to attending law school and continues to perform as soprano section leader at St. John’s Church in Beverly, Mass.
