- DivorceWe have handled all kinds of divorces throughout the Washington, D.C., area. Our cases have ranged from highly contested high-asset divorces to completely amicable and uncontested divorces.
- Child SupportChild support guidelines are in place to ensure that all children are supported financially by both parents to the extent that is reasonably possible. Both Maryland and Washington, D.C., have specific guidelines that determine child support (provided the parents' household income does not pass a certain threshold).
- Child Custody and VisitationHowever, that phrase — "what is in the child's best interest" — is open to broad interpretation, by the child's other parent as well as a family court judge. Child custody decisions are too important to place in the hands of inexperienced family law attorneys. At the law firm of Blank, Moorstein & Lipshutz, L.L.P., in Rockville, Maryland, we have been protecting parents' rights to receive ample time with their children following a divorce for more than 25 years.
- Premarital AgreementIt is essential for each partner to have separate legal representation when drawing up a prenuptial agreement no matter how amicable the situation. This limits the opportunities for either spouse to challenge the premarital agreement by claiming he or she was deprived of the ability to have counsel or didn't understand the document being signed.

- Construction Litigation
- Property DamageIn general, no-fault coverage (sometimes referred to as Personal Injury Protection or PIP) eliminates the need to prove "fault" after an accident. Direct payment of the injured person's medical bills and lost wages — up to certain dollar amounts — regardless of who was at fault for the accident will be met by an insurance company. In most jurisdictions, no-fault does not apply to motor vehicle property damage. Those claims are still handled by filing a liability claim against the one who is responsible for the accident, or by looking to your own collision insurance.
