Columbia Alimony Attorney

Maryland Child Support and Spousal Support Attorney

At the Law Offices of Cynthia M. Lifson in Owings Mills and Columbia, our attorney provides more than 15 years of proven experience guiding clients to effective, practical and workable divorce and support agreements. We help you to understand how decisions will ultimately be made in the courtroom and to find a suitable solution built around your unique situation.

Understanding Your Rights and Obligations

We work closely with you to create a place to sustain you financially in the present and the future.

Our attorney guides, counsels and represents clients in all support issues:

• Alimony — Courts have long recognized that when one spouse has supported the other, he or she may be required to continue to retain some of that responsibility during the period of separation and after divorce. Under certain circumstances, alimony may continue indefinitely. We evaluate the family income and expenses, and we help you negotiate a fair settlement based on need and ability to pay as well as the many other factors the court is required to consider when determining an award of alimony. We work to make sure that any temporary agreements created during divorce proceedings meet the needs of our clients.
• Child support — As parents, we take on a fundamental legal responsibility to support our children. For Maryland parents, the appropriate amount of child support is frequently determined by applying a formula known as the child support guidelines. Other considerations may apply in determining child support, and we can help you negotiate the particular arrangements to suit your family.

We have a well established philosophy for how we guide our clients in thinking about their divorce. We aggressively fight for your legal rights and the goals that you can or will not negotiate, and we help you take a practical approach to the rest. We want you to be able to move forward with your life.

We also provide post divorce modification representation for clients in need of representation when circumstances have significantly changed and the court order entered at an earlier time many no longer be appropriate.
