Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Family courts are generally reluctant to disturb the life pattern a child has built, though this varies by age. The older a child, the more settled a child's lifestyle can get -- school, friends, neighbors and all -- and a court would be loathe to disrupt this. For infants, it would be a little different. Also, if there is an existing order in place from the Egyptian court, a Maryland court would likely give effect to this and the father would have to show some significant change in circumstances to have the existing order altered. That is, if the matter has already been decided there would have to be some big change that has occurred since then to revisit the issue. If there is a pending case in Maryland the best thing you can do is hire a family law attorney to defend you.
