Generally, as the Father, he can ask for some form of legal and/or physical custody (e.g., sole, shared. It doesn't mean he will get it) or visitation unless there is a good reason to deny it (drug use, alcoholism, etc.). You and the Father can either work that out or the Court will. He is... View More

Even though the property was titled in your mother's name, unless she had the property before the marriage or was a gift, it will be treated as "tenants by the entirety" which means they both own the property. The law lays how the property will be treated when there is no will. You... View More

Grandparents can request the court grant visitation rights. The court will be decide based on the "best interest of the child" standard. Each case is different. It depends on the facts you present.

I would urge you to consult with an experienced attorney for guidance.

Yes, your Order is for supervised visitation. It appears that the child's safety is a big concern.

You would need to call the State's Attorney's office if they subpoenaed you. Your views on the case may assist what they wish to do with it. They will make those determinations but usually the positions of witnesses and victims provide input into what they choose to do.

Yes, he can still file for custody. However, that does not mean he will get it. If it is not in the child's best interest for the father to have sole or joint custody, the judge will not award it. He may get visitation rights. He will also have to pay child support, if he isn't already.

It is unlikely. Both parents are responsible for taking care of their children. A judge may lower child support temporarily, depending on the father's finances. If he was laid off, he should be getting unemployment though. You should retain a lawyer to assist you to get all of the... View More

They are supposed to contact the parents of the alleged abused individual. Parents are to be notified depending on what kind of school and what level of school this was.

Sue her and/or the bank.

Almost certainly not. If you both own the house, you both own the house. The lease from the estate may be valid, but not once you convey title. Your best bet may be to sell the house while it is in the estate and use your share to buy something.

Reporting that a spouse is operating without a license should not itself affect child support payments. Child support payments are based on the Maryland child support guidelines. On the other hand, there may be an impact on child support payments if the former spouse loses his/her job and has no... View More

Here is what I found: Under Maryland law, child support continues until the minor child reaches the age of 18. It may be extended to age 19 if the child is still enrolled in high school. If there is past-due child support, the agency will continue to enforce payment until the arrears are paid in... View More

I have to give you a general answer since I don't have much information about your circumstances. In order to modify alimony payments, you have to show a material change of circumstances, such as loss of a job, illness, or disability. You should contact a lawyer to discuss the evidence you...

It will be counted against the back support he owes you. It will reduce the total amount owed, not wipe it out entirely. The amount is due in full, every month. Not just when he feels like giving it to you.

It is highly unlikely that you will be reimbursed for any over payment. In Maryland, it is your responsibility to petition the court to terminate child support once the children are over 18. It does not end automatically.

Child support is based on both parents' incomes, not their expenses. It is figured pre-tax and pre-all other expenses.

The relationship between you and your husband has nothing to do with his relationship with your daughter. Regardless of the reason for the separation, he still has a right to see his child. Whether joint custody is appropriate depends on many factors, but should not be dismissed outright just... View More

If you are still legally married then having intercourse with someone other than your spouse is considered adultery. Consult counsel if you think it will be an issue for a divorce.
