It was a great night to be a Mustang for Associate, Eric Scott Williams as he returned to his alma mater, Stevenson University, for their annual Law Day event.

Itโ€™s an honor to help build and maintain a bright future for tomorrowโ€™s legal profession.

Thank you to the Stevenson University Legal Society and faculty of the Legal Studies program for inviting us to meet their students and discuss our practice.

As of late 2025, House Bill 1191 has fundamentally shifted how custody is determined in our state. The law now formalizes the "Best Interests of the Child" standard by requiring judges to evaluate specific statutory factorsโ€”moving away from a reliance on varied case law.

Understanding these shifts is vital for any parent navigating a custody dispute. Read our full breakdown of the new legislation: https://www.shellyingramlaw.com/custody/2026/03/31/what-marylands-new-child-custody-legislation-means-for-your-case/

In 2026, a prenuptial agreement is less about "planning for the end" and more about proactive financial transparency. From digital assets to pet custody and social media privacy, modern couples are using prenups to define their own rules for the future.

In Maryland, there are two types of alimony that can be awarded post-divorce: rehabilitative alimony and indefinite alimony, often referred to as permanent support. These payments are meant to help ensure the lower-earning spouse has the resources he or she may need when the marriage ends and a fair financial outcome is achieved. While alimony in Maryland is often one of the most contentious issues in divorce, itโ€™s important to understand the difference between rehabilitative and indefinite alimony, and how an award of alimony is calculated: https://cstu.io/f76827

If you are the non-custodial parent, you may be wondering what your rights are when it comes to your childโ€™s medical and educational records. Even if you do not live with your child or share legal custody, you still have a right to be informed about your childโ€™s health and schooling. Critically, Maryland law provides clear guidelines regarding a non-custodial parentโ€™s rights to access a childโ€™s medical and educational records. Itโ€™s important to understand your rights as a non-custodial parent and know what steps you can take if you are denied access to this important information: https://cstu.io/d92bd0
