What Family Law Covers
Maryland family laws cover a variety of situations, including:
- Divorce proceedings – For people who want to end their marriage for one reason or another, divorce is the primary recourse. That opens up other family matters.
- Child custody and visitation – After separation, the court can help determine which parties are best suited to keep custody of their children.
- Alimony – The court also looks at which spouse can support the other after separation if needed.
- Domestic violence – In cases where one spouse is physically, mentally, or emotionally violent to another, the law can step in.
- Pre and post-nuptial agreements – Mutual understanding between the parties about properties and other things before and after they are married.
Other areas covered by family law include adoption, protective orders, and marital property distribution.
Starting A Family Case
A family case begins with one party providing their written statement, which can be a motion, complaint, or petition, to the proper department. That will then be processed, and the other party will receive a summons or a court-issued document asking the other person to respond to the written statement.
The summoned party will then provide their response, either contesting the matter or not. If the parties do not agree on the issues, the case becomes contested, and the unresolved matters will go to court. Uncontested cases are when both parties agree on everything.
During the early stages of a contested case, parties can go to mediation or settlement to resolve the remaining matters.

Agreeing Together
Family laws in Maryland were created in case there is a dispute between the parties. It is a way to get mediation on sensitive topics like divorce, child custody, and other family-related affairs.
Not all cases have to go to court, though. It is best to keep a judge out of the proceedings if possible. The first step is through a professional meeting between the parties with their respective family lawyers present to ensure a healthy discussion.
