Bethesda, MD Divorce Lawyer

Divorce can have many causes, ranging from infidelity to domestic abuse to spouses simply falling out of love. Regardless of the reason(s) behind the divorce, several considerations need to be made. Often, the first consideration is asset and property division. Meditation and negotiations are ideal, with both sides willing to compromise and meet in the middle. However, when one side is unwilling to do this, litigation might be necessary.

Any divorce can be stressful, but this stress becomes amplified if children are involved. Many couples decide not to divorce until their children move out of the house, even if they’re unhappy. While stopping the arguments can be beneficial for children in the long run, there is no denying the short-term impact of divorce on children.

It’s important to consider the impact that divorce can have on your children and how much you want your spouse to be involved in your children’s lives. Our Bethesda divorce lawyers understand this, which is why we’ll approach your case with compassion and empathy while still setting forth realistic expectations. We’ll work with you to determine the type of child custody that is best for your situation.

Most divorces are typically due to both spouses being unhappy, and even when issues like infidelity are involved, spouses eventually can find a way to compromise. Sometimes, though, a husband or wife needs a divorce due to safety concerns. Safety concerns can include domestic abuse, cruel treatment, or criminal activity. Such a situation requires extra consideration, especially if there are children involved, which our attorneys can help with.
