Strong Legal Representation for Spouses Going Through Divorce

The choice to end a marriage is not an easy one. For those who are preparing to separate from their spouses, Salvado Law Offices can ensure that all legal procedures are followed correctly, and we can work to resolve disputes and legal issues effectively. We understand the emotional nature of divorce and the many legal and financial concerns that may affect spouses during this process. We are dedicated to making sure our clients can end their marriages successfully while protecting their rights and putting arrangements in place that will provide for their ongoing success. We can help address and resolve all types of divorce-related issues, including:

• Division of assets and debts: Issues related to a couple's property and finances can be some of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. At Salvado Law Offices, our attorneys work diligently to ensure that our clients will be able to divide their assets fairly and equitably while also addressing each spouse's responsibilities for different debts. We assist clients in identifying and valuing marital property, negotiating settlements, and resolving financial concerns in ways that will protect their interests.
• Child custody and visitation: Divorcing parents will need to determine how they will share the responsibility of raising their children. They will also need to establish schedules detailing when children will live or stay with each parent. When addressing issues related to child custody, our firm works to protect the best interests of children. We help our clients develop parenting plans that provide stability and continuity for their families. Depending on the circumstances of a case, we may be able to advocate for joint custody or sole custody.
• Child support: Family courts will take steps to ensure that children's financial needs will be met following a divorce. Child support orders will be established that will require both parents to contribute to their children's financial needs. Our attorneys help clients understand Maryland's child support guidelines, calculate appropriate support obligations, and address modifications or enforcement issues as circumstances change.
• Spousal support: This form of support is also known as alimony, and it can be a contentious issue during divorce proceedings. Our lawyers can help our clients determine whether spousal support will be appropriate based on their financial circumstances, and we can negotiate terms that will provide for their ongoing needs.

Legal Help With Other Family Law Issues

In addition to divorce, Salvado Law Offices offers legal representation in other matters that may affect families, including:

• Prenuptial agreements: Some couples may want to take steps before getting married to ensure that their interests are protected and that they will be prepared for a potential divorce. Prenups can provide clarity for couples while also protecting assets, helping avoid conflict in the future, and providing for the needs of children from previous relationships. Our attorneys assist clients in drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements that address asset division, spousal support, and other important matters.
• Parental relocation: When a parent wishes to move to a new home with their child, they may request a modification of the terms of a child custody agreement. Our firm helps clients follow the correct procedures when relocating, and we can also provide representation for parents who are concerned about how a relocation may affect their parental rights. We work to ensure that these issues can be resolved in ways that protect the best interests of the children involved.
• Adoption and guardianship: Prospective parents may take steps to adopt children in a variety of situations. Families may also need to establish guardianship for minors or adults with disabilities. Salvado Law Offices provides comprehensive support for clients in these situations, ensuring that they comply with all legal requirements. We work to ensure positive outcomes for children and families as they address these matters.
• Protective orders: Protecting clients from domestic violence is a top priority for our firm. Our attorneys help clients who have experienced domestic abuse or other safety concerns obtain protective orders to ensure the safety of themselves and their children. We can also help people who have been accused of domestic violence respond to protective orders and address concerns related to child custody or other family law issues. We provide compassionate support in these cases, helping clients understand their legal options and working to ensure that they can protect themselves and their loved ones.
