Divorce and Annulment

The decision to end a marriage is never easy, and it often comes with significant legal, financial, and emotional challenges. At Mann & Risch, we represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorce cases, as well as annulment proceedings. We strive to resolve these matters as efficiently and amicably as possible while protecting your rights and securing a fair outcome. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and litigators, fully prepared to represent you in court when necessary.

Child Custody and Access

For parents facing divorce or separation, child custody and access arrangements are often the most crucial aspect of the process. We understand the importance of preserving your relationship with your children and work diligently to establish custody arrangements that reflect the child’s best interests. Our attorneys assist with both physical and legal custody matters, advocating for fair visitation rights and access schedules that support the well-being of your child.

Child Support

Child support is essential for maintaining a stable environment for your children after separation or divorce. At Mann & Risch, we help clients understand Maryland’s child support guidelines, ensuring that calculations are accurate and reflective of each parent’s financial situation. We also assist with modifications to child support orders when significant life changes occur, helping to adjust financial obligations fairly for all parties involved.

Alimony (Spousal Support)

Alimony, or spousal support, is a common issue in divorce cases. Whether you are seeking alimony or being asked to pay, our team is here to advocate for a fair resolution based on your unique circumstances. We take into account factors such as length of marriage, income, financial contributions, and future earning potential to establish equitable alimony agreements, whether temporary or long-term.

Marital Property Disputes

Dividing marital assets and debts can be one of the most contentious aspects of divorce. Our attorneys work to secure a fair division of marital property that reflects your financial contributions and future needs. From real estate and retirement accounts to business interests and investments, we meticulously evaluate each asset and liability, working to safeguard your financial future.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Our firm assists couples in creating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that establish financial arrangements and expectations for marriage. These agreements can protect personal assets, outline financial obligations, and reduce potential conflicts in the event of separation. Whether you’re planning for marriage or are already married, we work with you to create clear, legally sound agreements that provide peace of mind for both parties.

Separation Agreements

For couples who wish to separate without immediately filing for divorce, a formal separation agreement can be beneficial. We help draft agreements covering important aspects such as asset division, child custody, and financial support, ensuring that all terms are legally binding and enforceable. Separation agreements can provide stability and clarity while you and your spouse consider your next steps.

Contempt and Enforcement of Court Orders

When court orders regarding child custody, support, or alimony are not followed, the affected party may seek enforcement to compel compliance. Our attorneys assist clients in pursuing contempt actions to enforce existing court orders, helping to uphold your rights and secure the support you are entitled to under the law.

Modification of Court Orders

As life circumstances change, court orders regarding child custody, support, and alimony may need to be modified. At Mann & Risch, we represent clients seeking to modify existing orders due to changes in income, relocation, or other significant factors. We guide you through the modification process, ensuring that any new arrangement reflects your current needs and circumstances.
