How do I open a new child custody case? Complete a Complaint for Custody (CC-DR-004) to ask to the court to grant you custody. File the form in the Circuit Court where the child lives or where either parent lives. Make enough copies for the other parent and keep at least one copy for yourself.
Generally. Maryland law presumes that both natural parents are the natural custodians of their children. The law does not favor either the mother or father.Either of the separated parents may petition a circuit court in Maryland for custody of a child.
The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
Issue #2: Property Division More commonly, people use the term 50/50 to refer to how money and property is divided in the divorce settlement. Maryland is an equitable distribution state, as opposed to a community property state.
There are no set rules on who will automatically get custody of the children. In Maryland, like many other states, the one ultimate standard in determining custody is what is in the best interest of the child. There are statutory factors that the court must consider to determine the best interest of the child.
