Disclaimer: People often times ask others on this board legal questions and ask these well-meaning non-lawyers for their legal opinions. If you have a lawyer representing you, you should be calling your lawyer with thes e questions. If your lawyer cannot answer your questions, then perhaps you need to think about whether you need a new lawyer.

I believe this board should be for venting frustration, relating victories and for MORAL support. You should not rely upon non-lawyers for legal advice. Remember, each non-lawyer has had one case to rely upon in giving you advice...theirs. While the y are well meaning, they do not have the breath of experience to rely upon in providing legal advice.

Try to keep your questions and factual patters as short as possible. Some people will write paragraph after paragraph and page after page of facts and figures and then ask the Moderator and other users to analyze their divorce, custody or support matter. Most people are not going to take the time nor do they have the inclination to spend an hour or two deciphering your facts and answering your questions. If your divorce, custody and/or support matter is so complicated that you cannot state the facts and your question in a few lines, you need to see a good family lawyer.

Be careful in accepting legal opinions from non-lawyers. It is but one source, and many times not he most reliable source of legal advice. -- Lee Schwartz

#220561 - 06/15/09 03:03 PM Divorce in PA or MD?
brown8871 New User Registered: 06/15/09 Posts: 3	I want do divorce my wife. We talked about it before, but it is final in my mind. We have a 4-year old child. We live in MD, and she is also talking about moving to Pennsylvania. We both have family and friends in PA and MD. All else being equal, is it better financially for me to get a divorce in MD or PA? I heard MD has tough laws on Dads both financially and if she gets custody. Also, you must wait a year in MD before the divorce is final. How long must you live in PA before divorce can be started there?
