Lisa M. Goldblatt provides legal representation and guidance for a variety of family law matters, including divorce, custody, child support, alimony, property division, and other issues involving families and relationships.
Not every divorce requires an attorney, but having experienced legal guidance can be especially important when issues such as property, finances, child custody, support, or retirement assets are involved. An attorney can help you understand your rights and work toward protecting your interests throughout the process.
Maryland courts consider the best interests of the child when making custody decisions. Factors can include the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to provide care, the child's needs, and other circumstances affecting the child's well-being.
In some circumstances, existing custody or support orders can be modified when there has been a significant change in circumstances or when modification is otherwise permitted under Maryland law. An attorney can help determine whether your situation may qualify for a modification.
Even when both spouses agree on the major issues, it is important to make sure your agreement properly addresses matters such as property, finances, support, and, if applicable, custody and parenting arrangements. Legal guidance can help ensure your interests are protected and the appropriate documents are prepared.
Lisa M. Goldblatt serves clients throughout Central Maryland, including Howard, Baltimore, Carroll, Anne Arundel, Harford, Montgomery, and Frederick Counties.
It is generally a good idea to seek legal advice as early as possible when you are facing a divorce, separation, custody dispute, support issue, or another significant family law matter. Early guidance can help you understand your options and avoid making decisions that could affect your case later.
