Frequently Asked Questions
Divorce, custody and other family law matters in Carroll County are generally handled by the Circuit Court for Carroll County in Westminster. The court handles contested and uncontested family law matters involving divorce, custody, support, property and related issues.
A family-owned business can raise questions about ownership, value, income and each spouse’s interest in the business. Depending on the circumstances, financial records may need to be reviewed and a business valuation professional may be involved to help determine the value of the business.
Self-employment income may require a closer review than wages reported on a traditional paycheck. Business revenue, expenses, distributions and other financial records may become relevant when determining income for alimony, child support or other financial issues.
Farms and agricultural properties can involve several components, including land, buildings, equipment and business operations. Ownership history, valuation and the source of funds associated with the property may all need to be examined before determining how the property should be addressed in the divorce.
Long-held family property can raise important questions about when and how the property was acquired, how it is titled and whether marital funds were later used in connection with it. An attorney can review the property’s history and financial records to determine the issues that may affect its treatment in a Maryland divorce.
Specialized professionals may be useful when a divorce involves a closely held business, farm, substantial real estate, disputed income or another asset whose value is difficult to determine. Depending on the issue, Baumohl Hamburg may work with accountants, financial forensic professionals, appraisers or business valuation experts.
Where each parent lives, school location, transportation, work schedules and travel time can all affect whether a proposed parenting schedule is workable. These practical considerations can be especially important when parents live in different parts of a geographically broad county.
