Divorce, Custody, and Protective Order Representation in Maryland
The Law Office of Neveen Kurtom represents individuals and families throughout Maryland in divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, protective order, and related family law matters.
Family law cases are often emotionally and financially complex. They involve decisions that affect children, property, housing, and long-term stability. Whether a case is resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, clients receive focused representation tailored to the specific facts of their situation.
Attorney Neveen Kurtom is a Maryland family law attorney with extensive experience handling both high-conflict litigation and negotiated settlements in Circuit Courts across the state.
Experienced Representation in Maryland Family Courts
Family law cases are not one-size-fits-all. Each case depends on the family’s circumstances, the level of conflict, and the legal issues involved.
The firm represents clients in matters involving:
Divorce and separation
Child custody and visitation
Child support and guideline disputes
Alimony and spousal support
Protective orders and domestic violence matters
Property division and equitable distribution
Post-judgment modifications
Contempt and enforcement actions
Mediation and settlement negotiations
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
Assisted reproduction and surrogacy matters
Each matter is approached with a focus on protecting the client’s legal rights while pursuing practical and sustainable outcomes.
Child Custody and Parenting Time Disputes
Custody disputes are often the most important and emotionally charged part of a family law case. Maryland courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as stability, parental fitness, co-parenting ability, and the child’s needs.
Attorney Neveen Kurtom represents parents in cases involving:
Sole and joint legal custody
Shared and primary physical custody
Parenting time disputes
Relocation and move-away cases
Custody modifications
High-conflict co-parenting disputes
The focus in custody litigation is always on presenting a clear and evidence-based case centered on the child’s best interests.
Divorce Representation in Maryland
Divorce involves both legal and financial restructuring of a marriage. Maryland divorce cases may include issues such as:
Division of marital property
Retirement accounts and pensions
Business valuation
Alimony
Child custody and support
Debt allocation
The firm represents clients in both contested and uncontested divorce matters, including high-asset and high-conflict cases. Clients are guided through each stage of the process, from initial filing through settlement negotiations or trial when necessary.
Protective Orders and Domestic Violence Cases
Protective order cases require immediate legal attention due to their fast-moving nature and significant consequences. The firm represents clients seeking protection as well as those defending against protective order allegations.
These cases may involve:
Interim and temporary protective orders
Final protective order hearings
Custody-related emergency relief
Firearm restrictions
No-contact provisions
Because protective orders can affect custody and criminal exposure, early legal guidance is critical.
Child Support and Financial Issues
Maryland child support is calculated using statutory guidelines based on parental income and parenting time.
Disputes often arise involving:
Income calculation and imputation
Self-employment income
Shared custody deviations
Childcare and medical expenses
Modifications due to changed circumstances
The firm assists clients in both establishing and modifying child support obligations.
Mediation and Settlement Negotiation
Not all cases require litigation. Many Maryland family law matters are resolved through mediation or negotiated settlement agreements.
Mediation may address:
Custody and parenting plans
Child support
Alimony
Property division
While mediation can reduce cost and conflict, it is not appropriate in every case. Legal guidance ensures that settlement agreements are fair, enforceable, and consistent with Maryland law.
Post-Divorce Modifications and Enforcement
Family law orders are not always permanent.
The firm handles post-judgment matters involving:
Custody modifications
Child support modifications
Alimony modifications
Enforcement and contempt actions
These cases require proof of a material change in circumstances and careful legal analysis.

AREAS OF PRACTICE
divorce
Divorce matters are difficult to deal with, and even if your matter is uncontested, you need a trusted lawyer to guide you through the process. Divorce cases may involve marital property, child custody, child support, and dividing your assets. Emotions run high and the process may be complicated. That’s where we come in.
domestic violence
We handle protective order matters and peace order matters. Whether you are the Petitioner or Respondent, it is important to have counsel at your hearing because it may have a impact on your current or future family law matter. We have experience in handling all domestic violence matters.
child custody
In Maryland, both natural parents are the presumed natural custodians of their children. The court applies the best interest of the child standard when deciding on child custody and visitation. Custody and visitation arrangements are never permanent and a parent can always petition the court to modify a court order.
estate planning
It's never to early to plan your Will. We begin by evaluating the client’s goals and their family and economic situation. We help clients create estate planning documents to suit their needs and goals. Our attorneys are experienced in preparing Wills, Power of Attorneys, and Advance Directives.
child support
Both parents have a legal duty to support their child based to their ability to provide that support. The court applies the Maryland Child Support Guidelines for calculating child support based on a proportion of each parent's gross income. We will explain to your possible child support obligation and answer your questions.
mediation
Every case doesn’t have to go on for years and run up your attorney fees. Many cases settle through either private mediation or court-ordered mediation. At our firm, we aim to save our clients money and reach a settlement if possible. Mediation is one of the ways we try to reach this goal.
“Helping clients navigate life’s most challenging transitions with strategic preparation, clear guidance, and strong advocacy focused on protecting what matters most.”
