Divorced Maryland parents often struggle with custody exchanges during the winter holidays. In fact, it can be enough to turn even cheery souls into absolute Grinches as they argue over who will get to spend the majority of the holidays with the kids.
Whether your family celebrates Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, the following tips may be helpful in resolving your custody battles this holiday season.
Car accidents are extremely dangerous affairs. A Maryland police officer sustained injuries after a four-car crash occurred in Calvert County on October 10th.
After any kind of traumatic event, it is natural that you will want to share everything on social media. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allow you to stay in touch with friends and family and let them know about everything. However, social media does not exist in a vacuum. It can come into play during your personal injury claim, so you need to be careful about what you post.

No one would ever admit to texting behind the wheel, but there may be a way for you to prove it to bolster your case.

If you are a parent going through a divorce, understanding the impact on your children is critical. These are a few key facts to know.
The impact of divorce on all parties involved is literally life changing. For a child, that may not be easy to process.
Therefore, both during and after the divorce, proper parental support is crucial. There are a few key things you can do to help your child cope with the impact of your marriage ending.
Even though some spouses stay married forever, many marriages end in divorce. While the divorce rate has dropped in recent years, marriages end every day. If you are thinking about divorcing your spouse or suspect your partner has the same idea, you must think about receiving your fair share of marital property.
