Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Divorce mediator

Although you may have agreement on the basic issues, you may not realize the number of things that must be addressed in any comprehensive separation and property settlement agreement. I am a court-approved mediator and experienced in family law. I can meet with you both (you split the fees) determine if there is agreement on all key issues and draft an agreement for your review. If it is acceptable, you can both execute it (or review it with separate counsel, if desired) and then it can be incorporated into a filing for uncontested divorce based on separation. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a mediation session. Thank you.

Re: Divorce mediator

If you have an agreement on the issues and all you need to do is have Court Ordered retirement divisions, you do not need an attorney representative and probably don't need a mediator. The only reason you would need a mediator is if you have differences as to how to separate the property. You would need an attorney who specializes in drawing up "QDROs" Those are special Court Orders that are approved by the Fund Administrators and passed by the Court.
