Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

In a meeting between my lawyer, me, my soon to be ex, his lawyer, and the master, I have agreed verbally to relocate two counties away so I can have custody of my kids. After thinking about it I feel I can not under any circumstances do this. The master said this is the only way he would grant me custody of my kids. This would put me right back in the abusive situation my children and I have been in in the last 13 years. Also with the relocation I would receive no child support and would have to commute two counties away to my job. If I do this I would not be able to afford anything and would not be able to provide for my children. Since I have not signed anything, can I change or back out on what I have verbally agreed to and still go to trial?

You should discuss this with your lawyer. That's what he's there for. If you haven't signed, you can back out, but you should talk with your lawyer about the ramifications first.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.*******
