Ellicott City, Maryland, Divorce and Family Law Attorney
Divorce is a tumultuous time. The difficult process of deciding to proceed with the divorce process can be followed immediately by the need to make crucial and time-sensitive decisions related to property distribution, the time you will spend with your minor children, and the income levels you will need to maintain your current style of living.
At the law firm of the Law Office of William C. Wood, LLC, we are experienced, compassionate and aggressive in our handling of divorce and family law cases. We realize the importance of income and assets at the time of divorce, and we recognize that your ability to gain custody of your child or remain actively involved in your child's life may be your life's first priority.
Lawyer William Wood provides legal representation in all aspects of divorce, including:
- Asset distribution. Generally, any property accrued during a marriage is subject to division at divorce, but there are exceptions. We can help you with questions involving inheritances, gifts, stock options and trust funds, and determining the income-generating value of professional practice.
- Child custody and visitation. Where will your child live? How much time will children spend with each parent, and how will been needed to support the children? We will fight for your rights.
- Modifications. Relocation, material changes, custody, visitation, medical issues and the maturation of children can all lead to the need to modify child support and child custody arrangements.
- Spousal support, maintenance and alimony. Spousal support is now seen by the courts as less permanent and more temporary and rehabilitative. We can work to achieve spousal support payments that will work for you, whether you receive or pay out payments.
We are experienced in handling all complexities of divorce and family law cases, from low- to high-value marital property, high- and low-conflict, contested and uncontested divorce, the presence of new partners in a parent's life, and substance abuse and domestic violence.
