Property Division

Dividing your marital property requires a close look at your total assets. You and your spouse will have to differentiate between shared and separate assets, setting aside any property that was given to you as a gift or received as an inheritance, as well as any property acquired during the marriage.

If you and your spouse are willing to cooperate, you can reach a settlement for property division outside of court. At Zide Law Group, LLC, we can negotiate for a mutually agreeable settlement, which can save money compared to aggressive litigation. However, if negotiations break down, we are more than prepared to advocate for your rights to property in front of a judge.

In Maryland, the courts refer to the model of equitable distribution when dividing up marital property, taking multiple factors into account like financial resources, the duration of the marriage, and contributions to the marriage. However, it can also factor in the circumstances that led up to the estrangement. Although Maryland does not allow fault-based grounds for divorce, findings of abuse, infidelity, or other misconduct can influence the division of property.

Visitation

In a divorce with children, one parent may end up with primary custody of the child. However, the other parent may still be entitled to visitation as long as it does not compromise the child's best interests.

Court orders for visitation can vary. Many parents are allowed visitation without supervision, allowing the non-custodial to spend quality time with the child on a regular basis. However, if the parent is deemed to be a safety risk (often due to past findings of abuse or substance addiction), the court may only decide to allow supervised visitation.

At Zide Law Group, LLC, we can help you negotiate for a favorable schedule of visitation during your divorce, keeping your child's well-being in mind.

Spousal Support

At Zide Law Group, LLC, we represent spouses seeking support as well as spouses who are requested to pay support. In most cases, spousal support is intended to help a spouse become financially independent after a divorce or during a period of separation.

When determining whether or not alimony is necessary, the court may consider:

• The financial resources of both parties
• The age and health of both parties
• Any existing prenuptial or postnuptial agreement
• The standard of living established during the marriage
• Marital misconduct committed by either spouse

This only accounts for a few of the many considerations in an alimony award. At Zide Law Group, LLC, we can review your case closely and advocate for a resolution that respects your financial needs.
