Military Family Law. Service members face specific challenges when it comes to divorce and co-parenting considering frequent moves and multiple deployments. Knowing the proper state to file the divorce in, and using the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) to make the divorce timeline manageable are some of the ways the lawyers guide members of the military through the divorce process. Issues such as child custody, child support, and health coverage are also important factors that might be handled differently in a military divorce. The firm’s attorneys have always focused on providing comprehensive counsel to service members and their families, rooted in a thorough understanding of the transient, unpredictable nature of active duty military service and the state and federal laws that impact military families.
Modifications. Sometimes when circumstances change significantly, you can request a modification of child custody, child support and spousal support agreements. Whether one parent wants to relocate, has lost a job or is experiencing health challenges, all of these life events can be accommodated through post-decree modifications.
Separation Agreements. An Annapolis couple may decide that a trial separation is better than a divorce. In such cases, the firm’s family law lawyers will draw up a separation agreement that includes arrangements for child support, child custody and visitation, spousal support and payment of household expenses.
