Family Law

Gaithersburg Family Law Attorney

Family law issues can be some of the most difficult and emotional legal issues you may have to face. For more than 30 years, I have provided a wide range of family law services on behalf of clients in and around Gaithersburg, Maryland. Contact me to schedule a consultation regarding any of the following:

  • Child custody
  • Child support
  • Divorce
  • Domestic violence
  • Grandparent adoptions
  • Guardianship
  • Name changes
  • Private adoptions
  • Protection orders
  • Stepparent adoptions

Adoptions

I have helped many clients in the past with both Step Parent and Independent adoptions. I can advise you on the step by step procedure to reach your goal. Adoption is such a positive action in today's society. I, as well as the court welcomes your adoption with open arms. In most cases, you can even bring your camera and invite your relatives to your adoption hearing.

Guardianship for Minor Children

I understand the difficulties that confront family members taking care of minor children when mothers or fathers are in the military, incarcerated, or dealing with alcoholism, drug abuse, or medical problems.

Guardianship for Disabled Adults

I help bring peace of mind to families who face challenges such as the need for an adult guardianship for a senior citizen.

Paternity

I also handle requests by parents to assist with determination of paternity, or post-decree modification of alimony (spousal support), child custody, support, and visitation.

Peace Orders and Protective Orders

I assist clients with petitioning for peace orders. Peace and protective orders are civil orders issued by a judge to prevent one person from committing certain acts against others. Peace orders apply to people in the following relationships: dating, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, and strangers.

Cost-Effective Legal Services

I recognize the need to try to keep legal fees to a minimum for families who often face many other financial needs in life. Lawrence T. Robinson Law Office offers efficient, client-oriented counsel and representation. My advice and assistance goes beyond simply satisfying court requirements. Tax deductions, health insurance, college education, property issues, and other issues related to family law matters are addressed as appropriate.

Talk to an Attorney to Explore Legal Options

Often, people put off talking to an attorney because of a perceived stumbling block. A separated wife or husband may feel unable to proceed with a divorce when the other spouse cannot be located. I am able to help my clients resolve complicated issues efficiently and empathetically.

Honest and Informative Maryland Family Lawyer

In all family law matters, I am honest and informative, letting clients know how their legal issue is likely to be resolved. Clients dealing with divorce, child custody disputes, or guardianship express appreciation for the sense of relief as they gain control of complex family situations.
