Divorce in Maryland
In Maryland, parties can be granted divorce on no-fault or on fault grounds. Whether you and your spouse have voluntarily separated and seek to finalize the split, or whether you wish to allege fault grounds, I have the experience it takes to navigate you effectively through the process.
I handle both contested and uncontested divorces. Whether or not you and your spouse agree on the grounds for divorce and the other decisions that must be made, I will work hard to protect your interests and reach positive solutions regarding every aspect of your case:
- Property division: Generally, in Maryland, property acquired during the marriage is "marital." In the divorce, the court will divide this property in a manner it deems fair. My job is to protect your individual assets and give you a realistic idea of how the court will divide the assets. Skilled in analyzing complex financial issues, I will make sure that everything is considered, including retirement accounts, businesses and hidden assets. I am experienced in working with financial experts to value all of your marital assets properly.
- Child custody and visitation: Nothing is more important in a divorce than children. I will work hard to protect your children's best interests in developing child custody and visitation plans that protect your rights and encourage positive relationships with both parents where possible.
- Child support: It is important to remember that child support is designed to provide for your children, and my goal is to make sure that your children receive the full support to which they are entitled.
- Alimony: There are different types of alimony in Maryland. I will work closely with you to analyze your situation and help you form a realistic assessment of what to expect regarding spousal support.
Finding the Most Effective Route to a Solution
Depending on your situation, negotiation, mediation or litigation may be the best way to resolve your divorce or other family law matter. With almost two decades of experience as an attorney, I know when it is best to fight and when it makes sense to settle.
I understand that divorce can be time-consuming and costly. I will not waste your time and money pursuing paths that will not achieve your goals and protect your — and your children's — best interests.
