Will a judge always split everything 50/50?

In Maryland and Washington, D.C., that answer is No! Courts divide marital property using equitable distribution. They determine what is fair, not what is equal.

Instead of an automatic 50/50 split, the court generally evaluates:

What qualifies as marital property (real estate, retirement, cash),

The total value of all assets and debts,

And each spouse's contributions, the length of marriage, and your economic circumstances.

How your financial evidence is presented during the divorce trial can impact the outcome. Having strategic legal support can help get you the outcome you deserve.

You don’t have to be married to make clear agreements about property, finances, and other responsibilities.

Unmarried couples living together can create a cohabitation agreement to clearly outline how property, debts, and responsibilities are handled during the relationship and if the relationship ends.

An experienced family law attorney can help you ensure your contract is legally binding, enforceable, and accurately reflects your intentions.

A cohabitation agreement can have significant financial and legal consequences. Hire an experienced family law attorney to draft or review your agreement and advise you before you sign.

Need a cohabitation agreement in D.C. or Maryland? Call P. A. Davis Law Office, LLC at (844) 350-8343 or contact us at pdavislawoffice.com.

Thursday, October 1st marked the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We honor survivors who have rebuilt their lives, those taking steps toward safety, and those still searching for a way forward.

Domestic violence can affect nearly every part of a person’s life. Survivors may be navigating fear, financial control, threats, disruption of their home, and concerns about their children, all while trying to make difficult decisions about what comes next.

And domestic violence does not always exist as a separate legal matter. It may be an important part of a divorce or child custody case, affecting issues such as parenting arrangements, communication between parents, access to the family home, financial security, and the safety of a parent or child. A protective order may also become one part of a broader legal strategy.

For those taking that first step, having an attorney who understands how domestic violence intersects with divorce, custody, and protective-order proceedings can help you identify your legal options, present the relevant evidence, and advocate for arrangements that address both your rights and your safety.

Looking for a legal path forward? Call P. A. Davis Law Office, LLC at (844) 350-8343, or visit pdavislawoffice.com.

If you need immediate or non-legal guidance in your domestic situation, you can also call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

Being prepared for your contested divorce doesn’t just mean having the right representation; it also means figuring out how much you’re able to spend to get your desired outcome. When preparing a budget for a high-cost contested divorce, you may want to consider:

How much you have on credit cards

Whether you can obtain a loan

Whether you can borrow from family

Whether the savings and investments you might plan to use are in dispute; if so, it is best to proceed with caution and get an attorney’s advice before using them.

Preparing carefully for the costs of a contested divorce can help you maintain legal representation throughout your case. Consistent representation allows your attorney to remain familiar with the history of your case and continue advocating for your interests as the case progresses.

Concerned about all of your retirement being taken away in your contested divorce?

Retirement and pension accounts that accrued funds during the marriage can be distributed between the spouses during a divorce. If, during the marriage, you accrued more money in your retirement and pension accounts than your spouse, they may be entitled to part of the marital portion of your funds.

Without consulting an attorney, you may leave a significant share of retirement assets on the table. Attorney Pawnee Davis can help you identify and pursue your fair share of retirement assets in your divorce.

Do you fear the financial cost of litigation while fighting your contested divorce? If there is a substantial difference between your income and your spouse’s, or if you may need financial support during your divorce, your attorney can ask the judge for pendente lite alimony. This type of alimony is temporary financial support during litigation. It lasts until the divorce decree is issued.

Your attorney can advocate for your financial need and present a persuasive case for your request. Retaining an attorney to advocate for you and present a well-supported case can increase your chances of reaching your objectives.

Mediation, which uses a third-party to negotiate your divorce, can be helpful in avoiding the stress of divorce litigation. This, however, does not necessarily mean you should go into mediation alone.

Retaining an Attorney to assist you with mediation is helpful, as your attorney can assist with strategy, advise on your legal rights, and help you understand the meanings and potential effects of proposed terms before you agree to them. This is vital for avoiding consequences you may not have anticipated. Most importantly, retaining an attorney ensures that, should mediation fail, you already have a legal expert ready to advocate for you in court.

If you’re considering divorce in Maryland or D.C., schedule a consultation with P. A. Davis Law Office, LLC at pdavislawoffice.com/divorced or by calling (844) 350-8343.
