Getting a divorce when you have children throws an additional complicated element into your case. Though you would do anything for your kids and do not consider them a complication, having kids does mean that you will need to handle child custody matters when ending your marriage. The amount of complexity your case faces will depend on how well you and the other parent can get along and what type of custody arrangement you want.

If the police gave you one of these citations, then you might wonder what types of behaviors fall into the different categories and the penalties for each of them.
Some pedestrians are more apt to be hit than others
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data published in 2017 shows that an estimated 5,977 pedestrians lost their lives in traffic accidents that year. Emergency room doctors also treated an additional 137,000 people for non-fatal injuries. The risks that pedestrians face are severe.
Preparing for a child custody case? Clothing choices matter
If you're one of the many Maryland parents headed to court regarding child-related issues in divorce, you might be feeling anxious or stressed and worried about the potential outcome of your case. Like all good parents, you only want what's best for your kids. If your ex disagrees about what that might be, you could be in for a legal battle. During child custody proceedings, you want the judge overseeing your case to decide that your children would be best off living with you.
