FAQs
Do I need a family law attorney for my divorce?
A contested case is expensive, stressful and time consuming. You certainly need legal assistance in conducting and presenting all the evidence needed to both obtain the divorce and resolve all the issues relating to any children as well as marital property. However, there is another option. The parties can resolve all the issues relating to the marriage through a marital settlement agreement. They can decide not only issues relating to custody and child access, but also alimony, marital property, the marital home, and any other significant issue. That can result in a real time saving for the couple, as well as avoid a lot of unnecessary stress and expense. A lawyer can help you draft an agreement, and this method is relatively inexpensive.
What is collaborative practice?
A style of divorce that offers a spouse and partner the support, protection, and guidance form a lawyer and other selected professionals to guide them through the process without having to go use the court to litigate the process.
Child Custody What is child custody?
In the state of Maryland and DC the law favor a joint custody arrangement between the parents of the child. Parties with legal custody (decision-making authority) make short and long-term decisions about education, health, religion, care, welfare and other important areas. Physical custody (child access/visitation) refers to where children live and how much time they spend with each parent.
