KEVIN M. CORR is a cum laude graduate of Suffolk University Law School (1992) and Syracuse University (1988). A member of the Massachussets, New York and Connecticut State bars, he has been engaged in the practice of Family Law for more than seventeen years. Mr. Corr is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), currently serving on the local Chapter’s Board of Managers. He was honored to present his Summary of Family Law Cases at AAML year-end meetings in 2009 and 2010.

Mr. Corr’s practice covers all areas of Family Law with a focus on divorce, property division and support issues. He has been recognized as one of Massachusetts' "Super Lawyers" in 2008 and 2009 by Law & Politics and Boston Magazine, and as a "Rising Star Super Lawyer" in 2005.

Mr. Corr and David H. Lee successfully co-counseled the trial (2008) and appeal (2009-2010) that led to the Supreme Judicial Court’s decision in Ansin v. Craven-Ansin, 457 Mass. 283 (July 2010), a case of first impression in which the SJC approved the use of mid-marriage (post-nuptial) agreements between spouses. Of special interest to Mr. Corr, and a focus of his practice, is litigation involving the validity and enforceability of pre- and post-marital agreements later challenged or contested by one of the contracting parties.

Mr. Corr's other involvements include membership in the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Family & Probate Inn of Court, and the Massachusetts Association of Guardians Ad Litem. He has been a panel member on family law-oriented continuing education programs, and has authored articles in the field. Mr. Corr is presently working with Kimberly Joyce on an article addressing the use of "choice of law" and "forum selection" clauses in pre- and post-marital agreements.

Mr. Corr’s other published writings in the area of Family Law include the following:

• Alimony – What, Why and When, Family Law Conference 2007, Mass. Continuing Legal Education (program material).
• The Validity of Postnuptial Agreements Not Made in Contemplation of an Immediate Separation or Divorce, Massachusetts Bar Association Section Review [Family Law] (Winter 2002).
• Don’t Lose Interest in Collecting Child Support, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, July 2, 2001 (a "sequel" to this article, based upon the outcome of a 2004 Suffolk County case, is in progress).

The law's challenge to protect children caught up in Family Law disputes is another of Mr. Corr's special interests. "[T]he child’s interest in being free from [the effects of abuse] outweighs any interest a child has in family integrity." Opinion of the Justices, 427 Mass. 1201, 1206 (1998).
