There is no single timeline. How long a divorce takes depends on the issues involved, whether the parties are able to reach an agreement, and the court’s schedule. An uncontested divorce may be resolved relatively quickly, while a contested case involving custody, support, or property can take considerably longer.

You are not required to have an attorney, but even an uncontested divorce can involve important issues involving property, support, custody, and other legal rights. An attorney can help ensure your agreement and divorce documents accurately reflect what you intended.

Not necessarily. Maryland recognizes mutual consent, six-month separation, and irreconcilable differences as grounds for divorce. The appropriate ground depends on your individual circumstances.

When parents cannot agree, the court determines custody and parenting time based on the best interests of the child. The court considers numerous factors involving the child’s needs, stability, relationships, and each parent’s ability to meet those needs.

Maryland uses child support guidelines that consider factors such as each parent’s income, parenting time, health insurance, childcare expenses, and certain other costs related to the child. Every family’s circumstances are different.

A person who qualifies under Maryland law may petition the court for protection from abuse, threats, or certain other conduct. Depending on the circumstances, a protective order may include provisions addressing contact, the family home, temporary custody, financial support, and other protections.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911. This website and its contact form are not monitored continuously and are not an emergency service.

Our personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. You do not pay an attorney’s fee upfront, and we receive an attorney’s fee only if we obtain a recovery for you. Case-related costs and expenses are separate and will be explained before representation begins.

Seek appropriate medical care, report the accident, preserve photographs and other evidence, and keep records of your medical treatment and expenses. Be cautious about discussing your injuries or accepting a settlement before you understand the extent of your damages.

You may need to provide certain information to an insurance company, but you should be cautious about recorded statements, medical authorizations, and early settlement offers. Speaking with an attorney first can help you understand your rights and avoid unintentionally harming your claim.

In many Maryland personal injury cases, a lawsuit must be filed within three years of when the claim arises. However, different deadlines and notice requirements can apply in certain cases, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the injury. The value of a claim depends on the facts of the case and the impact the injury has had on your life.

Every case is different. The timeline depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the length of medical treatment, insurance coverage, whether liability is disputed, and whether the case can be resolved through settlement or requires litigation.

Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If an injured person is found to have contributed to causing the accident, even to a small degree, it may prevent recovery. Because fault can be disputed, it is important to have the circumstances of the accident carefully evaluated.
