Family Law

There is much at stake.

Family law governs those things that most deeply affect our lives: marriage, divorce, and our rights as parents. In particular, Maryland law sets forth provisions establishing the many detailed requirements for the following types of family law transactions or proceedings:

Because they cut to the heart of our well-being as people, it is crucial that you not enter lightly into any legal proceedings governing these family-related issues. You can forever forfeit certain rights by signing a document or by failing to file a correct paper with a court. Arguing that you did not know what you were signing or that you did not know you were supposed to file a particular form will not give you a second chance. You must protect your rights up front.

You can trust me to protect your rights.

If you are facing a legal proceeding involving a family law matter, it is crucial that you seek the advice of an experienced attorney. The stakes are simply too high to strike out on your own. And, you certainly cannot rely on your spouse’s attorney to protect your rights in a divorce, separation, or child custody proceeding. His or her loyalties must be to your spouse and he or she will protect your spouse’s rights, not yours. In these proceedings, your rights are usually in direct opposition to those of your spouse, even in amicable matters.
