Maryland Child Support Lawyers

Child Support

When two people get divorced and children are involved, the next step is deciding on who will get custody of the children. Once that is decided, the non-custodial parent is required to make child support payments to the parent that does have custody. Child support payments are meant to help provide the children with all the necessities he or she will need. It is a tricky and complicated area of law, but our lawyers are here to assist you in your time of need.

The amount of child support that a Maryland parent is entitled to depends on a number of different factors. The number of children involved is one major factor, along with how much money each parent makes. Our knowledgeable lawyers can help you by discussing your personal case with you and determining how much child support the custodial parent will be entitled based on all the facts.

Child Support

Contacting our lawyers during the divorce process is a wise decision for many reasons. For example, your spouse may refuse to give you the amount you requested and you feel you deserve a larger amount, or your spouse may refuse to pay anything at all. Even if your spouse is agreeing to the child support amount you requested, it is possible you may be entitled to more. Or, perhaps you are on the other end and your spouse is requesting far too much and you feel it is unfair, and he or she is already working with lawyers and you do not want to be at a disadvantage. Whatever the case may be, the lawyers at Goldberg, Finnegan, & Mester can fight for an outcome that ends in your favor.

Nervous System Damage

Injuries to the nervous system have forever altered the lives of millions of people around the country. In fact, it is estimated that 7,000,000 head injuries occur annually in the United States. Of those, more than 500,000 people are hospitalized. These staggering statistics are alarming enough as it is and they do not even take into account spinal injuries which have just as much a detrimental impact upon someone’s life as a head injury. Sadly, most of the people affected are no longer able to live normal lives. Whether the consequence of a car crash, work-related injury, assault, or negligent care, victims must be justly compensated for the hardships they are left to endure for the rest of their lives.

Many victims of brain or spinal injuries are relegated to assisted living care.

Unfortunately, insurance is often not enough to cover all of these expenses. However, there is legal recourse available for victims in Maryland. With the right legal representation from our Maryland nervous system damage lawsuit lawyers, a successful lawsuit can help attain the monetary compensation deserved.

Motorcyclist Dies After Collision

(Waldorf, MD) – A Charles County motorcyclist was fatally injured this afternoon following a collision with an off-duty state trooper at a new intersection in Charles County.

The crash victim is identified as John W. Harding, 33, of the 4700-block of Kittiwake Court, Waldorf, Md. He was pronounced dead at Prince George’s Hospital Center where he had been flown by U.S. Park Police Eagle 1.

The trooper involved is identified as Trooper First Class Justin E. Zimmerman, 26, assigned to the Maryland State Police Crash Team at the College Park Barracks. He has been employed by the Maryland State Police for six years.

Shortly before 4:00 p.m. today, Zimmerman was off-duty, driving an unmarked State Police 2006 Ford Expedition northbound on Middletown Road when he entered a new intersection at Lexington Drive and made a left turn. Harding was southbound on Middletown Road, operating a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle as he rounded the curve approaching Lexington Drive.

The preliminary State Police investigation indicates Zimmerman was following a northbound school bus before turning left at the intersection in front of Harding. The motorcycle slid into the right rear of the Ford Expedition, causing Harding to be ejected. Harding was wearing a helmet. The motorcycle caught fire after the crash. Zimmerman was not injured in the crash.

The intersection where the crash occurred is a new intersection where the road is still under construction. There is a traffic signal installed at the intersection, but it is not yet functioning.
