Men & Divorce
While we represent both men and women going through divorce, it’s important to know that we understand what you’re going through if you’re a man—especially a father—with legitimate concerns about what can happen to the relationship with your children and your personal finances.
Why Hire The Law Offices of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates?
In our years of practice as lawyers (since 1992), we’ve seen how the law has slowly become a bit fairer when fathers ask for custody of their kids and/or want to limit the amount they pay in spousal support. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need a strong advocate. Bias is alive and well in the justice system, and if you’re a man facing divorce, the odds can be stacked against you.
Divorce Advice & Legal Help for Men
There are really only two reasons why it’s different when it comes to men and divorce:
- There’s a long history of courts automatically awarding child custody to women over the objection of men who were fully capable of being the custodial parent.
- There’s a long history of assuming that men can handle paying large amounts of money in child support and spousal support (alimony), regardless of their actual financial means to do so.
We are divorce lawyers for men in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC who don’t assume that things are any different for men and fathers just because we’re in the 21st century.
If you’re facing divorce, you’ll want to do all you can to limit your exposure to paying burdensome financial support, with due respect to reasonable child support obligations, and win child custody or generation visitation time so that you can maintain a strong relationship with your kids.
