Experienced Family Law Representation for Divorce and Custody Cases in Potomac, MD

Getting a divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences in anyone's life. The emotional and financial stakes of these cases are high, and the decisions made as a couple separates can have a long-lasting impact on the future of both spouses, their children, and other family members. Other types of family law cases can be just as impactful. Relationships between parents and children can be affected by decisions about child custody. Permanent family relationships can be established through adoption. Family members who have experienced domestic violence can seek protection while addressing family law concerns.

At Salvado Law Offices, our dedicated team of attorneys provides compassionate legal representation for clients in multiple types of family law matters. We make sure our clients understand their legal options, and we advocate for solutions that will protect their rights and ensure that they can provide for the best interests of their children.

Advocacy in Divorce Cases

Navigating the complexities of a divorce requires legal guidance and representation from an experienced lawyer. Our attorneys are well-versed in Maryland's divorce laws, and we work to help our clients address their legal and financial concerns effectively. Whether representing a client in an uncontested or contested divorce, we provide compassionate legal support through every step of the process. We can help address issues related to:

• Division of marital property: Couples will need to take a complete inventory of the assets they own, ensuring that both spouses understand the value of different types of property. These assets and a couple's joint debts will need to be divided fairly and equitably between the spouses. Our attorneys can help determine the best ways to handle different types of assets, including family businesses, real estate property, retirement accounts and pensions, vehicles, household items, financial accounts and investments, and more. We will work to negotiate agreements that will provide for our clients' financial needs.
• Child custody and visitation: In a divorce involving children, parents will need to determine how they will share custody on an ongoing basis. Most of the time, joint custody agreements can be negotiated. However, sole custody may be an option in some situations, including cases involving domestic violence or abandonment by a parent. Our lawyers work to resolve these issues in ways that protect the best interests of the children involved in a case. We strive to negotiate custody and visitation agreements that promote the well-being of children while respecting our clients' parental rights.
• Child support: Financial support will typically be ordered in a divorce or child custody case, and it can be essential to ensure children's needs will be met. Our attorneys help our clients navigate Maryland's child support guidelines, working to establish fair support orders that are based on the financial circumstances of both parents.

Addressing Other Family Law Issues

In addition to divorce, our attorneys at Salvado Law Offices are equipped to handle a wide range of legal concerns that may affect families. We provide comprehensive support and representation in cases involving issues such as:

• Adoption: Adopting a child can be a joyous event, but parents will need to complete multiple types of complex requirements and legal procedures. Our attorneys guide families through the adoption process, ensuring they will have the tools to provide for children's ongoing needs.
• Guardianship: In some cases, a person may need legal authority to care for a minor or an incapacitated adult. These cases can be emotionally charged, and they may involve intricate legal procedures and requirements. Salvado Law Offices provides experienced representation to help clients establish guardianship, and we make sure courts will prioritize the best interests of the person in need of care.
• Protective orders in domestic violence cases: Physical abuse and other forms of violence against members of a family or household will often require immediate legal intervention to protect the safety of the people who have been affected. Our attorneys assist victims of domestic violence in obtaining protective orders, which can ensure that they will be able to maintain peace of mind and be safe from harm. We handle these cases with sensitivity and urgency, ensuring that our clients receive the protection they need.
• Parental relocation: When a parent chooses to move a significant distance away from the other parent, they may request modifications to their child custody agreement. Our lawyers can help ensure that parents meet their legal requirements when requesting a relocation, and we can also help clients take steps to protect their parental rights and maintain relationships with their children following a relocation request.
• Prenuptial agreements: Couples can take steps to protect their interests by creating legal agreements before getting married. These agreements may address how matters will be handled if their marriage ever ends, and they can be used to protect assets and make decisions about financial issues. Our attorneys can help create prenuptial agreements that are fair and legally sound while meeting the specific needs of our clients.
