Law Office of
Thomas Axley, Chartered

Family Law

Divorce is difficult for all the people involved. Our experienced divorce lawyers will help you through the whole process. Decisions must be made about matters like child custody and support, alimony, settlement of marital property including the marital home, furnishings and retirement accounts.  To help protect your lifestyle, our attorneys often work out separation agreements to avoid sometimes unpredictable court rulings.  Thomas Axley, Chartered, is committed to providing explanations on all options available and the legal consequences that accompany each option, as these matters will be a big change to your lifestyle.

 

Often, child custody and child support are intertwined with divorces.  Should circumstances change after your divorce, we can help you change the child custody and child support orders after your divorce.  If you were never married, but need to change your child custody or child support orders, we can work with you to help accomplish your goals. 

 

Protective orders (sometimes called restraining orders) are difficult matters for both people in a relationship. In Maryland, a protective order is available to a victim of Domestic Violence. The Court can grant relief such as ordering one party to leave the home, ordering custody/visitation or emergency family maintenance. Our attorneys can help you seek a protective order or help defend you.
