Divorce

 

Getting divorced can be an emotional rollercoaster for you and having no professional help would mean that the process would just keep prolonging, depending on the nature of the case. To make things easier for yourself, you can always contact our team to guide you on how intense or simple the divorce is going to be. Our experienced lawyers will guide you through all phases of the process, explaining each one of them.

 

Paternity

 

Once you get divorced, if you have children, you need to settle the matter of parentage between you and your ex. The usual misconception about having paternal rights is that the mother has an upper hand when it comes to paternity. However, a legal father of the child has an equal right to file for the custody of the child or request for visiting them every so often.

 

Child Custody

 

Parentage conflict can leave a bad taste in the mouth after one of the two people in a broken marriage seeks custody of the child. Not one partner has to get the custody of the child. There are many types of child custodies that can be agreed upon between the two parties. The matter can be easily sorted considering all legal terms. At the end of the day, the matter is decided by the court to make sure that the child’s best interest is met.

 

Child Support

 

Child support decides who will pay for the expenses of the child. Depending on what type of child custody it is i.e. joint or individual, one or both parents will divide the expenses between them. Child support includes the monthly expenses of the child, depending on the parent’s income, what they are contributing to the healthcare, etc.

 

Property Division

 

Property division in Maryland is done on equity basis i.e. the couple seeking for a split might not get the amount equally. It is on the court to decide the division of property based on factors such as who needs the money more or how long has the marriage lasted.

 

Adoption

 

If you are someone who is thinking about adopting, you will eventually need legal advice to make the process easy for you. Our legal team walks you through all phases of this new road you have chosen to embark on.

 

Guardianship
