Divorce Is Never Easy – The Decision to Seek Legal Separation Should Be Carefully Made

Whether you live in the State of Maryland or elsewhere in the Washington Metropolitan Area, strict laws apply to legal separation, divorce, and the issues of child custody and child support. In many instances, statutory requirements are set in place that allow little flexibility, should private negotiations fail.    

When you are facing a legal separation or divorce, there may be much uncertainty and anxiety about what the future holds. In many ways, you may be starting over – and that can be difficult to do.

The experienced family law attorneys and divorce lawyers at the Maryland law firm of Meyers, Rodbell & Rosenbaum, P.A. have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the legal process and are ready to help you explore your legal options. Caring and compassionate, the family lawyers at MR&R work hard to ensure that you, your children and financial future are protected.

Legal Separation

MR&R assists individuals who wish to live apart from a spouse but still remain married by petitioning for legal separation. Many times legal separation can be converted into an uncontested divorce.

Domestic Violence

In divorce cases involving domestic violence, we can help your family through this challenging and difficult time by taking the appropriate legal steps to protect your loved ones and your parental rights through the family law courts.  To the extent that court intervention in the form of a judicial order prohibiting communication or contact with spouse and/or children is necessary, the law firm litigation team is ready to move fast to obtain restraining or protective orders, including advancing the matter through criminal channels if need be.

Premarital and Domestic Partnership Agreements

Our family attorneys understand that making life changing decisions as parties enter into relationships can be challenging, therefore, we can aid in helping couples enter into legally binding contracts that can determine property rights upon the death of a spouse, as well as determine property and support rights if the marriage were to end in divorce.
