Contested & Uncontested Divorce
A divorce is sometimes an unfortunate and sometimes a necessary end to a marriage. Going through the process of dissolving a marriage involves knowing your legal rights and obligations. A lawyer could help you protect your assets and advocate for your rights and your children’s needs in court.

Child Custody & Child Support
There are two kinds of child custody in Maryland & Washington DC: physical and legal custody. A family law attorney from our firm could evaluate your current child custody arrangement and request alterations or modifications of an order that no longer meets your or your children’s needs.​ Any parent who has less physical custody of their children must provide financial support to the other parent to help with child-raising costs, which includes clothing, shelter, food, and other necessities.

Adoption
Adoption can be a wonderful way for people to grow their families. The adoption process can be difficult to navigate, however, without the assistance of an experienced family law attorney. A adoption lawyer can provide guidance during the process and help aspiring parents collect necessary documentation as well as submit complete petitions to a local court.
