If you decide to pursue a divorce, we will help you understand your options, rights and obligations. Whether the matter is resolved through mediation or litigation, we always pursue the best option for our clients. We will make sure every aspect of your divorce is taken care of properly, including:
- Property distribution: Real and personal property matters are the most highly contested issues in divorce cases. We will help you devise a property distribution strategy that considers pension, retirement, home, and real and personal property.
- Spousal support/alimony: In both Maryland and D.C., the court examines a variety of factors to determine whether a party will receive spousal support/alimony. Our office will help you with these complex issues.
- Child custody, support and modification: The future of your children is a major part of your divorce case. We are sensitive to the needs of your children and we will advocate such that your voice will be heard. We can also help you obtain modifications, if necessary.
Grounds for Divorce
While the District of Columbia has no-fault divorces, fault is an issue in Maryland. The grounds for a divorce with fault include adultery, desertion (actual or constructive), cruelty, voluntary one-year separation, insanity and conviction for a criminal offense. Whether your divorce is in Maryland or Washington, D.C., we are able to litigate all issues in your case.
Separation Agreements
During the time of separation, some people want a separation agreement. A separation agreement resolves issues of the marriage in an effort to limit the time spent in court. It is not necessary to get a separation in order to obtain a divorce, but many couples find that it is a viable alternative.
