Frequently Asked Questions about Divorce in Maryland.
How is child custody decided in Maryland?
Child custody is decided based on the best interests of the child. The court looks at factors such as each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s needs, stability, and the overall family situation.
What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing, such as education and healthcare. Physical custody refers to where the child lives and how parenting time is shared.
Can child custody be modified after a court order is in place?
Yes. If there has been a material change in circumstances, a parent may be able to request a modification of an existing custody order.
Can parents share custody?
Yes. Depending on the circumstances, parents may share legal custody, physical custody, or both if the arrangement supports the child’s best interests.
