Legal issues that affect families can be complex, and when spouses, parents, or other family members become involved in family court proceedings, they may worry about how the outcomes of these cases will affect their relationships and other parts of their lives.

At Salvado Law Offices, our dedicated family law attorneys are here to provide you with compassionate representation to help you manage these difficult situations. We will guide you through the complexities of family court proceedings in Maryland, and we will work with you to achieve a resolution to your case that will provide for your family's ongoing needs.

Divorce

The dissolution of a marriage will end the legal relationship between spouses, and it will require a couple to address and resolve a variety of financial and practical concerns. During the divorce process, we work with our clients to address issues such as:

• Asset division: When determining how to divide marital property between divorcing spouses, Maryland follows the principle of equitable distribution. The assets a couple acquired during their marriage should be divided fairly, but each spouse will not necessarily receive an equal share. Our attorneys will work diligently to identify, value, and divide different types of marital property, including real estate, investments, retirement accounts, and personal belongings. We strive to ensure that our clients will receive a fair share of their property while addressing their financial needs.
• Financial matters: Divorcing spouses will often need to address other complex financial issues in addition to property division. Our attorneys can help address spousal support (alimony), tax implications, and the division of debts. We provide strategic advice to help our clients secure their financial futures.

Child Custody

Issues related to children will often be among the most emotionally charged aspects of a divorce or family law case. Our attorneys can help clients determine the best solutions for resolving disputes related to child custody. We work to ensure that the best interests of the children are prioritized. We can help address issues related to:

• Sole custody vs. joint custody: While parents will typically be able to share custody of their children, sole legal custody or sole physical custody may be appropriate in some situations. We can help our clients determine the most suitable arrangement for their families, and we will advocate for solutions that will provide stability and support children's development.
• Child support: Parents have a legal obligation to support their children financially. Maryland's child support guidelines take into account both parents' incomes, the child's needs, and other relevant factors. Our attorneys can help ensure that the proper calculations are used to determine child support payments, and we will ensure that support orders are fair and enforceable.
• Parental relocation: When a parent plans to move with their children following a divorce or while sharing custody, they will need to follow certain procedures, and child custody arrangements may need to be modified. Our lawyers can provide assistance to parents who are considering relocating, or we can help respond to a relocation request. Our goal is to help our clients find solutions that will protect the best interests of their children.

Other Family Law Issues

Salvado Law Offices provides comprehensive legal services in multiple areas of family law, including:

• Adoption and guardianship: Adopting a child or becoming a legal guardian can be rewarding, but these cases may involve complex legal procedures. Our attorneys provide guidance and support in these cases, ensuring that our clients maintain compliance with Maryland law and providing representation in court proceedings.
• Prenuptial agreements: A couple that plans to get married may take steps to protect certain assets, clarify their financial responsibilities, and determine how certain issues will be handled if they get a divorce in the future. Our lawyers can help you draft, review, and negotiate prenuptial agreements to ensure that they will meet our clients' needs while protecting their interests.
• Protective orders: In situations involving domestic violence, threats to inflict harm on family members, or accusations of abuse, Maryland courts may issue protective orders that are meant to ensure the safety of those whose safety and well-being may be at risk. Our attorneys assist with filing petitions for protective orders or responding to these petitions and defending against allegations of domestic violence.
