Updates in Maryland's Child Custody Laws: What You Should Know 📜 Maryland has recently implemented key changes to its child custody laws. These updates are designed to better safeguard the well-being of children and provide clearer guidelines for parents navigating custody arrangements. Here’s what’s new: 1️⃣ Best Interests of the Child: Courts now place even greater emphasis on the child’s emotional ties to each parent, stability, and adjustment to home and school when making custody decisions. 2️⃣ Shared Parenting and Joint Custody: New laws encourage equal involvement from both parents, promoting shared parenting and joint custody to ensure the child maintains strong relationships with both. 3️⃣ Enhanced Custody Evaluations: Custody evaluations are now more comprehensive, with a focus on the home environment, each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs, and any history of abuse or neglect. 4️⃣ Relocation Impact: Clearer guidelines have been established regarding how a parent’s move may affect existing custody agreements, possibly leading to changes in visitation schedules or custody arrangements. 5️⃣ Child’s Preference: Older children’s preferences will be given more weight in custody decisions, with consideration given to the child’s age, maturity, and reasoning. 6️⃣ Parental Cooperation: There’s a stronger emphasis on the need for parents to communicate and cooperate, with arrangements favoring those who demonstrate a willingness to work together. Parents should stay informed about these changes and consider consulting a family law attorney to navigate the updated regulations, ensuring their child’s best interests are protected.

If you plan to get married, it may be worth determining how each of you would protect your assets and financial interests in case you end up going your separate ways. A prenuptial agreement can 📌Ensure that assets you bring into the marriage remain yours if you and your spouse were to end up divorcing. 📌Identify if there would be spousal support (alimony) provided if the marriage ends 📌Set boundaries in terms of couples' debt issues 📌Determine how long you would need to support your children over time. 📌Address other situations, such as anticipated inheritances. The goal of a pre-marital agreement is to promote an honest discussion on finances, kids, future goals, and the financial consequences of divorce.
