- Child Support“Can the child support change if she starts making a lot more money? What if I remarry? What do I do when one of the children graduates? Who pays for braces or therapy?”
- Child Custody and VisitationAs society becomes increasingly transient, more and more parents are seeking court approval to move their children to a different jurisdiction. The courts do not make it easy to relocate if you have children since inevitably the children will not see the non-custodial parent as much as before the move. However, if the noncustodial parent has not been granted parenting time or visitation rights, then their permission may not be necessary.
- AdoptionThe most common form of adoptions is “step-parent” adoption where a step-parent becomes a legal parent and custodian of a minor or adult child. As practitioners we know the legal process and the court staff and procedure that can make this process go smoothly as we have filed numerous step parent adoptions over the years.
- Premarital AgreementA Maryland prenuptial agreement is an agreement signed before marriage for the purpose of defining rights in the event of a divorce. No one wants to think about this especially while you are in love and excited about getting married. It is the same rationale that makes people put off drafting a Will. No one want to think about the possibility of their divorce and no one wants to think about their death. Still, it is best to plan for both situations and when you contact MLO/Mulinazzi Law Office at ( 410-290-6270 ) we understand that and we will listen to your concerns and together find the right language to address those concerns in the most respectful way possible.
- GuardianshipThere are two types of adult guardianships in Maryland: guardians of the person and guardians of the property. (1) A guardian of the person covers authority of medical, contractual, and day-to-day decisions for another adult. (2) A guardian of the property covers authority over money and assets including, but not limited to, financial accounts, real estate and land, vehicles, and tangible personal property.

- ArsonThe heart of the Historic District is Main Street, which has been the site of several devastating fires, most notably in November 1984, three in 1992, and again on November 9, 1999. The 1984 fire was started by Leidig’s Bakery’s faulty air conditioning unit and destroyed six buildings; the 1992 fires were by arson, and the 1999 six-alarm blaze, which destroyed five businesses and caused an estimated $2 million in damage, was accidentally started behind a restaurant by a discarded cigarette.
- Business DisputesMs. Holt has experience in many areas of law including foreclosure prevention, contract disputes, municipal and administrative law, landlord/tenant disputes, criminal law, and domestic law. Currently, she primarily focuses her practice on Will and Estate Law. Ms. Holt understands that having an ironclad Will that exactly expresses your wishes is one of the most important documents you can have to protect your family. She takes the responsibility of expressing those wishes while conforming to Maryland law seriously and strives to make sure her clients are left with a written legacy they are happy with.
- Estate PlanningA will is something that is often brushed under the rug because people don’t want to think about death, but since death is inevitable, it’s best to have documents in place to protect your family members and friends so that it’s one less thing that have to worry about when you do pass. At the Mulinazzi Law Office, our will lawyers are adept at listening to your estate planning ideas and wishes and making them conform with Maryland law all while giving you ideas on how to frame those decisions.
- WillsWills & Estates: Having a will is arguably one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. A will can distribute your assets and legally protect your spouse, children, and loved ones all while protecting your wishes after you pass. Without a will, the state can and will make these very important decisions for you.
- Power of AttorneyWhen do I need to get a guardianship? This may be a good idea when your loved one is unable to manage his or her physical needs, health care, assets, or finances. This person is called an “alleged disabled person.” The goal is to help the person not take away his or her rights so there may be better strategies such as a “power of attorney.” Call MLO/Mulinazzi Law Office ( 410-290-6270 ) to discuss your options and what is best for your family. It is always better to plan as soon as possible.
