What happens when you are taken to court for joint custody?
The other parent has filed a petition for joint custody. They want to have the right to be included in decisions regarding the child and perhaps want equal physical custody also. There will be a hearing.

Knowing someone being an attorney is not a conflict of interest. You can always get a different attorney if you want to.
Who is the best Baltimore area attorney?
Deciding who is the best attorney is really dependent on many factors, such as what type of case is being tried (Criminal, child custody, divorce, civil, etc.). The best attorney for one person may not be the best attorney for a different person, with different needs and expectations.
If you are not divorced from your husband can your can the husband get custody of the children?
If you are not divorced then both parents have equal rights regarding custody, decision making and control of the children. If a couple chooses to live apart one party must obtain a court order to get sole custody of the children. That party would need to convince the court the other parent is unfit and awarding sole custody to the moving party is in the best interest of the children. A husband would not be favored for sole custody simply on the basis of being a man. There must be extenuating and serious circumstances for the court to award custody to one parent. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and inform you of your rights.

Can a grandmother fight to get support from the father if she doesn't have custody?
Absolutely, you can fight for it. If the child is living with you, then you need to talk to an attorney about getting child support and maybe even custody of the child. I know there have been many cases where the grandmother, being the one the child lives with, has received child support, even if she doesn't have legal custody. She is still the one raising and supporting the child. This may vary from state to state, so you need to talk to an attorney about your situation. He or she will be able to advise you of your rights, and will let you know if they feel you have a good case. And, quite often, they will not charge you for the initial consultation, or only a very small fee. So if you are raising your grandchild with no financial support from either parent, you owe it to yourself and the child to try to get financial support.
