Divorce
Divorce in Maryland isn’t as easy as you might think. You need a divorce attorney who can help you no matter where you are in the divorce process.
If neither party has left your home, you may be able to avoid a lot of the problems in litigation if you can get a separation agreement before litigation begins. We help you to prepare a comprehensive marital settlement agreement that will stand the test of time. Sometimes, it isn’t possible to avoid litigation, but even when litigation is going on, we work hard to help you reach a sensible agreement.
If a negotiated agreement is not possible and it seems litigation is your only option, or if your spouse has already filed for divorce and you have no alternative but to cope with the court process we are strong advocates in — as well as out — of the courtroom.
Divorce in Maryland can be complicated. For example, Maryland has two kinds of divorce, limited and absolute, and we don’t have “legal separation.” There are many issues involved in divorce in Maryland, some of which are part of a limited divorce and others that relate only to an absolute divorce, and still others that apply in either kind of divorce. On top of all that, issues in divorce are often linked, including why you are getting divorced (your “grounds” for divorce), alimony, marital property, child custody, visitation and child support.
Whether your spouse has left or whether you are the one who wants to leave, whether or not your divorce includes some or all of the issues in divorce cases, we can help you find the answers you need and find your way through this time of tumult and transition to a new life for you and your family.
