Maryland Separation Agreement Attorney
In Maryland, in most cases a couple must be separated for a year before an absolute divorce decree is granted. Even then, if there are outstanding disputes over the division of property, child custody, and other matters, it can take longer. If the parties can come to a separation agreement concerning these issues at any time after they are physically separated, it can greatly speed up a final resolution. At the time of the divorce, the terms of the separation agreement are incorporated into the decree and become enforceable by law.
At Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink, we are experienced divorce attorneys. We are also experienced negotiators who can often achieve our clients' goals without resort to expensive litigation.

Crafting a Fair and Workable Separation Agreement
A separation agreement contains exactly what the parties want it to contain. It can cover virtually the complete range of matters arising out of divorce, including child custody and visitation, division of assets and debts, alimony (spousal support), child support, and other matters-even who gets the family pet.

In discussions with the attorney for the other spouse, we will uncover areas of agreement and areas of contention.

Often this involves a trade-off on particular items which enables the parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Throughout the entire process, a lawyer from the Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink will keep you informed of developments.
A separation agreement can save time and money, and produce far less aggravation and emotional turmoil than litigation. The Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink will work to achieve a separation agreement that protects your rights and interests.
