Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Divorce and Family Law Attorney
Divorce can be as painful as a death in the family, but it is particularly difficult when a child's custody is in question. It is understandable for parents to want do everything they can to stay close to their children, but a prolonged custody battle - especially one that plays out in the courtroom - can often end up hurting parents and children alike.
At Ralph W. Powers Jr., P.C., we handle every aspect of family law and divorce with an emphasis on mediation. Our experience has taught us that one-sided solutions often result in an adversarial atmosphere between ex-spouses that can last for years after the final settlement or judgment. In the interest of helping both parties move on from the experience quickly and with confidence, we help our clients work toward long-term solutions that are fair to everyone involved. If you are going through divorce and want to make sure the process takes into account your interests, contact our firm today for a free initial consultation.
A note about mediation:
While you may have very clear ideas of what is fair and unfair in your divorce, a judge or jury can see justice in a very different light. When the terms of a divorce are imposed from outside the marriage, it can lead to further resentment and more protracted legal battles. For parents who want to work toward a lasting compromise, our firm provides divorce and child access mediation. Mediator Jane K. Powers will meet with both parties and their representatives to help facilitate dialogue and cooperation.
Our firm assists clients with the following family law issues:
- Divorce mediation
- Division of marital assets
- Child support
- Alimony/spousal support
- Child custody
- Marital debt allocation
- And many more
