- Child SupportAn Edgewater divorce attorney can offer experienced legal representation to help you file for divorce and resolve any issues that may arise related to custody, spousal or child support, property division and visitation. These matters have the potential to be complex and difficult to deal with, but with proper representation you can rest assured that your interests will be protected.
- Child Custody and VisitationWhen child custody is decided and visitation is awarded, one parent will be given either supervised or unsupervised visitation. Supervised visitation is generally awarded when a parent is seen as “unfit†because of having a mental illness, health issue, alcohol or drug dependency or criminal history. This type of visitation requires a person appointed by the courts to be present at all times with the child and the “unfit†parent. If a parent complies with the courts and it is later proven that he or she has overcome their situation and is no longer detrimental to the well-being of the child, then a modification of the visitation terms can be requested through the family law courts.
- Premarital AgreementIn the state of Maryland, a prenuptial agreement is a legally binding document. It can be of great comfort to both parties in a marriage because it can help to avoid a long drawn out court battle if a divorce should ever take place. It is also a very positive way for a soon to be couple to communicate their needs and what they want in regards to a marriage. For instance, if a spouse has a business and does not want the other spouse to have any rights to the business if they should divorce, this can be written in a prenuptial agreement and will be upheld by the family law courts.
- Spousal SupportAre you involved in a high net worth divorce? If so, you may be feeling immense pressure with so much at stake during the settlement. Between spousal support and division of property, obtaining effective results may seem impossible. As high net worth divorces can often involve heated disputes and highly contested matters, it is strongly advisable to retain the counsel of an Annapolis divorce attorney.
