Now that the school year is over, it is important to prepare and address any scheduling adjustments for your children’s summer break. Here are some helpful tips:

1. Plan well in advance with your co-parent the exact weeks you each plan to have your children. You should review your court order as often times it will contain the exact provisions outlining the summer visitation schedule.

2. Be flexible. Sometimes clear communication and compromise can lead to stress-free summers with your co-parent. You should clearly communicate with them regarding exchange locations, pick-up and drop-off times, and any travel plans. Consider providing advance notice to foster cooperation, even if not mandated.

3. If your children attend daycare, camps, or other summer activities, discuss them with your co-parent and address financial responsibilities. Often times, your court order will have provisions on each parent’s financial responsibility.

Maryland is an equitable distribution state which means the court will distribute marital property between you and your estranged spouse in a fair manner. You may have heard of Bitcoin, Zcash, Litecoin, and Ethereum as well as other forms of cryptocurrency but you still may be unsure of what cryptocurrency actually is. Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that can be purchased, sold, or exchanged. It is not an actual asset and they have no intrinsic value, thus making it difficult to measure their value. Cryptocurrency, if acquired during the parties’ marriage, is considered marital property.

Cryptocurrency poses difficulties in a divorce case as they are digital and not stored in a bank. Unless both parties know about cryptocurrency purchased during the marriage, it can be easy for one party to hide it from another. Hiding cryptocurrency is a common problem that many divorcing couples face. If you suspect that your spouse is lying about having cryptocurrency, your attorney has different options to help you track them down. These options include depositions, discovery, or hiring a forensic expert to help locate hidden assets.

It is illegal to hide assets in a divorce. If you have any questions about the divorce process or tracking down hidden assets, contact us today a (443) 741-2567 for a consultation.
