Family Law Definitions:

• Marriage -  When two people join into union as one. It is best to have a prenuptial agreement before a marriage takes place.
• Divorce – The end to a marriage or dissolution of marriage. In Maryland the two types of divorce are absolute divorce and limited divorce.
• Child Custody/Visitation – One or both parents may be awarded physical, legal, sole, or joint custody of a child. Visitation is also awarded in many instances.
• Child Support – Typically one parent is ordered to pay child support. There are set child support guidelines in the state of Maryland that help determine the amount of support that must be paid.
• Modification – Allows for a person to modify payments or court-ordered arrangements when income has changed drastically or there is an illness.
• Domestic Violence – If domestic violence is occurring within a relationship it is spousal abuse/marital abuse. A restraining order or order of protection may be obtained for domestic abuse in the effort to protect a victim. Domestic violence is grounds for divorce in Maryland.
• Estate Litigation – This is an area of the law that deals directly with wills, trusts, directives and probate in addition to much more. Estate litigation is extremely important for anyone wishing to protect their property, assets and their future.
