End Your Marriage With Clarity and Control
Divorce & Legal Separation Services in Annapolis for spouses facing contested asset division and custody disputes during marriage dissolution
Gregory P. Robinson J.D., LLC handles divorce and legal separation cases for clients in Annapolis who need to dissolve their marriage, divide property and debts, establish custody and support arrangements, and move forward with legal and financial independence. You may be dealing with a spouse who contests the terms, uncertainty about what you are entitled to, or concerns about how divorce will affect your children and your financial security. The firm provides representation in both uncontested divorces where terms are agreed upon and contested cases that require negotiation, discovery, and courtroom advocacy.
Maryland law allows for absolute divorce based on grounds including a twelve-month separation, adultery, cruelty, or other statutory reasons. The court divides marital property equitably, which does not always mean equally, and considers factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial contributions, and the circumstances that led to the divorce. Gregory P. Robinson reviews your assets, debts, income, and custody needs, then builds a strategy that protects your interests and seeks fair outcomes in property division, spousal support, and parenting arrangements.

If you are considering divorce or have been served with divorce papers in Annapolis, contact the firm to discuss your case and understand what steps come next.
Our Services
What Happens During the Divorce Process
Your attorney begins by filing or responding to the divorce complaint, then moves through the discovery phase where both parties disclose financial information, property ownership, and other relevant facts. Maryland requires full financial disclosure, and failure to provide accurate information can result in sanctions or an unfavorable ruling. The firm prepares financial affidavits, requests documents from the other party, and works with appraisers or forensic accountants if complex assets are involved. Mediation is often required before trial, and many cases settle during this phase if both parties are willing to negotiate in good faith.
After your divorce is finalized, you will have a decree that divides property, assigns debts, establishes custody and visitation schedules, and sets child support or alimony obligations if applicable. You will know what assets you retain, what you owe, and what your parental rights and responsibilities are moving forward. Gregory P. Robinson J.D., LLC ensures that the decree is clear, enforceable, and based on accurate financial information so that you can begin the next chapter of your life with a solid legal foundation.

The firm does not provide financial planning or tax advice, and it cannot predict every future dispute. It does provide legal representation that protects your rights during the divorce, holds your spouse accountable to disclosure requirements, and advocates for outcomes that reflect the contributions you made during the marriage.
If your spouse hides assets or refuses to negotiate reasonably, the firm is prepared to pursue your case in court.
Questions Clients Ask About Divorce in Maryland
These are some of the concerns that clients in Annapolis raise when they first contact the firm about divorce or separation.
What is the difference between marital property and separate property?
Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, while separate property includes assets owned before the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance. Commingling can make separate property marital, so documentation and tracing are often necessary.
How long does a divorce take in Maryland?
An uncontested divorce can be finalized in a few months after the required separation period, while a contested divorce may take a year or more depending on the complexity of the issues, the court's schedule, and the willingness of both parties to negotiate.
What factors determine whether I will receive alimony?
Maryland courts consider the length of the marriage, the financial resources and needs of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, each spouse's age and health, and contributions to the marriage including homemaking and child-rearing. Alimony can be temporary or indefinite depending on the circumstances.
Can I keep the family home after the divorce?
It depends on the equity in the home, your ability to afford the mortgage and expenses, and whether keeping the home is part of an equitable division. In some cases, one spouse buys out the other's interest, or the home is sold and the proceeds divided.
Why does discovery take so long in contested divorces?
Discovery involves exchanging financial documents, answering interrogatories, and sometimes deposing witnesses or experts. In Annapolis, courts require thorough disclosure, and delays often occur when one party is slow to respond or disputes the other's valuations or claims.
