Alternative Family Attorneys in Montgomery County
We’re here with the answers you need.
Complex legalities often come with the formation of the alternative family. Custody, visitation, child support, and constitutional issues regarding a legal parent’s right to care and control of their child are among the most common. The laws and cases regarding these legal issues vary tremendously throughout the United States.
In any situation where a nontraditional family is formed, it’s imperative that the potential legal consequences are considered and planned for in the event that issues arise in the future. Collaborative law and other forms of alternative dispute resolution can be particularly helpful because there are no divorce laws governing the relationship.
With more than 60 years of combined experience in handling an array of divorce and family law issues, Andalman & Flynn’s skilled attorneys have a deep understanding of how the courts approach these matters for same-sex parents and unmarried couples.
When you need a strong legal advocate, turn to Andalman & Flynn. Our experienced family law counselors can design a legal strategy that’s effective for you. Please contact us today by calling 301-563-6685 to schedule a consultation.
We offer services in the Gaithersburg, Rockville, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Olney, and Potomac areas.
Testimonials
Client Testimonial – I couldn’t be happier with the result that I got
“I was recommended to Ms Vann from a friend of mine. I couldn’t be happier with the result that I got. I was dealing with custody and financial support issues with the mother of my twin boys and trying in vain to do the right thing by myself. Working with Ms Vann relieved so much of the stress that I was going through. It is about six months since my case was closed and things are still going really well. I only wish that I had contacted her sooner!”
