Robbins Karen

Divorce
My philosophy is simple: it's not my life; it's yours. My job is to make sure that two things happen: first, that you clarify your vision for your life, post divorce or custody case;and second, that you choose the right process for your vision to become a reality. What that means for you is that we work together as a team, sharing information, brainstorming and problem solving. I provide you support, information and help you advocate for yourself and your family even as I am advocating for you. I help you decide whether mediation, collaborative divorce,traditional negotiation or litigation are the correct process for you and your family; and I support and guide you through whatever process you choose as right for you. You are never alone. I care what happens to you and your family.

Divorce
My philosophy is simple: it's not my life; it's yours. My job is to make sure that two things happen: first, that you clarify your vision for your life, post divorce or custody case;and second, that you choose the right process for your vision to become a reality.

I help you decide whether mediation, collaborative divorce,traditional negotiation or litigation are the correct process for you and your family; and I support and guide you through whatever process you choose as right for you. You are never alone. I care what happens to you and your family.
Child Support
Talk about the precautions you're taking in each home. Talk about hand washing. Agree about how much information about COVID 19 to share with your children. If there has been exposure, or if unfortunately a parent has coronavirus, be generous and understanding. Talk about makeup time for missed access. Make your child available virtually as often as you can. If job loss causes you to be unable to pay full support, let them know and try to pay something. If you're the parent who receives child support, try to be accommodating and understanding.
Child Custody and Visitation
Some courts bifurcate, or divide, child custody and monetary issues. Others do not. If it is bifurcated, the court will give you two sets of dates. Otherwise, you will be asked how long it will take to try your case. This is important, because the court will not give you more time than you request if it turns out you underestimated your time. Some courts will give you a trial date at this time; others will give you only a pretrial conference at which they will assign a date. By “trial date,” I also include multi-day trials. The magistrate will also assign a settlement conference date at which the court will see if they can help you settle your case, and a pretrial conference, to make sure you are ready for trial. Some courts make you wait to receive the papers indicating your court dates; others will just mail you the papers with the dates. Either way, it’s important to write the dates down.
Spousal Support
The short answer is that if the account is a joint account, yes he/she can. That action can be considered by the court when it determines property distribution, monetary award and spousal support.
Legal Separation
In Maryland, there is no such thing as a legal separation. What Maryland law requries prior to most divorces is a physical separation, which means not spending so much as one night under the same roof. Separate bedrooms probably does not count, although there are exceptions. That separation is proven by testimony or other corroborating evidence.
Annulment
Probably not. A marriage is a marriage, no matter its length. Even if you realize it was a mistake, you may still need a divorce. An annulment in Maryland is ordinarily only granted if one party is still married to another at the time of the marriage, or if one party committed a serious fraud which induced the other to enter into the marriage, or which related to matters concerning or affecting the health or well-being of the parties.

Misdemeanors
The more important question is whether it's a good idea. Adultery is a ground for divorce in the state of Maryland, and it is also a misdemeanor, punishable by a $10 fine. Adultery is defined as sexual intercourse. Something less than intercourse can be marital misconduct but not adultery. So, going out with friends is fine; more than that, maybe not a good idea, and is definitely something about which you should consult an attorney.
