Litigating Divorce and Custody Issues During Coronavirus
Although Coronavirus has restricted us in our homes, except for the occasional food shopping excursion, a family law litigation matter can still be filed, discovery can still be conducted, depositions can happen, mediations can occur, and negotiations to settle domestic cases are still occurring. In fact, most domestic relations matters are negotiated or mediated -- and then resolved -- without going to court.
However if litigation of a family law issue (divorce, custody, financial support) is necessary for your situation, this can still happen. Despite public closure of the courts, courts are staffed and are accepting new divorce filings so that disputes can be addressed and hopefully resolved in a timely fashion after the courts reopen (some matters are even being treated by the courts as an emergency and addressed immediately by video conference).
While business and life in general has been asked to step back until the pandemic is abated, now is a good time to try to resolve your disputes. Specifically, with regard to litigation, beginning that process now could also help you be on the way to resolution when life and business move forward.

CHILD CUSTODY SOLUTIONS - MARYLAND
Child custody is one of the most important aspects of family law and divorce. There are many factors that are considered when determining custody and there will likely be a trial for the custody issues alone if the parties cannot work out an arrangement. When approaching custody matters, always consider the standard that the court must apply—it is called the best interests of the child standard.

How can I prove my spouse committed adultery?
You don't have to catch your spouse in the act to prove adultery.
While a good private investigator can be worth his weight in gold, most adultery claims are proven by circumstantial evidence: Disposition such as public displays of affection or romantic emails or greeting cards; and opportunity, such as frequent private late-night visits to paramour's residence or joint trips. What should you be looking for to confirm your suspicions? Credit card receipts, photographs, social media posts, travel itineraries (e.g. airline ticketing receipts), cell phone bills, and emails may be helpful in confirming the suspected behavior.
Interestingly enough, a party's admission to adultery, by itself, usually is not sufficient proof because courts are concerned if there is collusion being attempted to avoid divorce grounds that require waiting periods. However, in a contested divorce case an adultery admission by a spouse may be enough to corroborate the adultery allegation.

Even during a pandemic, family law issues can be resolved.
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process where a third party acts as a facilitator to assist in resolving their family law issues. Think of mediation as facilitated negotiation. Mediation helps communication occur between the parties, assists in identifying real issues of dispute, and generates options for settlement. The goal of mediation is that the parties themselves arrive at a resolution.
Geoffrey Platnick is a skilled and experienced litigator and mediator, who has been trained in both mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Geoff applies his negotiation, litigation, mediation experience to prepare, educate, and assist clients in pursuit of settlement. Geoffrey represents individuals or conducts private family law mediations himself - both in-person and remotely or virtually - involving property settlements, alimony and child support, child custody, visitation and parenting plans and child custody agreements.
Whether you need someone to assist you in mediation or you are seeking a skilled mediator to craft resolution of your dispute, Geoffrey Platnick is prepared to assist you.
