Will I Lose Everything to My Spouse?
September 26, 2023 – Ellen L. Lee
No, you will not lose everything to your spouse. In determining division of property, the courts look at numerous factors, such as the earning power of each spouse, the length of the marriage, and the assets each spouse brought into the marriage. Maryland courts try to issue divorce decrees that are fair. Our attorney is skilled at preparing and presenting the evidence in a way that ensures that you will get your fair share.
