Alimony

In Maryland, the decision to award alimony (also known as spousal support) is at the court's discretion. To petition for alimony, you must demonstrate a need for financial support from your spouse by showing that your divorce would cause you undue hardship. When considering whether or not to grant an award of alimony, the courts may weigh several factors, such as:

• The length of the marriage
• The age and health of each party
• The financial resources of each party
• The reason for the divorce
• The time it would take for the dependent spouse to become self-supporting
• The lifestyle established during the marriage

At Zide Law Group, LLC, we can help you petition for an award of alimony based on your needs, advocating for a resolution that leaves you in a stable place.

High Net Worth Divorce

Divorces between couples with high assets tend to be more complicated. To ensure a fair division of the marital estate, you will have to uncover all of your combined assets, which may be spread across investments, shared businesses, retirement accounts, or real estate. When your property is on the line, working with a lawyer is critical.

With over 50 years of combined experience, our attorneys know how to identify and uncover hidden assets, making a painstaking effort to get a full estimate for the value of your marital estate.

If your spouse has intentionally wasted, concealed, or destroyed your assets, we can help you file a dissipation claim to recover compensation for the property you lost. Our firm is here to fight for your best interests no matter how complex your marital estate may seem.

Post Judgment Modifications

A final divorce decree may come with multiple court orders regarding child custody, alimony, and child support. A court order is legally binding, carrying the possibility of severe penalties if you violate the terms. For instance, failing to pay child support could result in you being held in contempt of court, resulting in fines and/or jail time. However, there are circumstances in which a court order can be modified.

Generally, court orders can only be changed when there has been a substantial change in circumstances. To give an example, you might be able to request a reduction in alimony payments if your ex-spouse gets a higher-paying job. A child custody modification might also be approved if it serves the child's best interests. At Zide Law Group, LLC, we can help you petition a judge for a post-judgment modification.
