Divorce

Knowledgeable Bethesda Fault and No-Fault Divorce Lawyers

Stephen E. Moss and Ronald L. Ogens have been certified by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers as Family Law Arbitrators.

While we at Deckelbaum Ogens & Raftery, Chartered cannot make the pain caused by your divorce vanish immediately, we can help guide you through the legal entanglements and make the process of your divorce as painless as possible. Our law firm was incorporated in 1977. For almost 30 years, our firm and its family law attorneys have been dedicated to providing our clients with the best possible results at reasonable rates. We have twelve highly experienced lawyers available to assist you with your case. And our team approach to case management means that when you hire one of our attorneys, you get the cost-effective benefit of our collective knowledge.

We are Full-Service Family Law Firm

Our attorneys take on both “fault” and “no-fault” divorce cases, and represent clients throughout Maryland and the District of Columbia. From our law firm’s office located in Bethesda, Maryland, above the Metro stop and near public bus service, we handle every aspect of your divorce, including:

• Child support terms
• Child visitation terms
• Child custody agreements
• Marital property settlements
• Alimony / rehabilitative spousal support

In cases where a client seeks to obtain proof that a spouse was a “bad” spouse, or an adulterer, our law firm will, on your instruction, hire private investigators to conduct video surveillance or recover information from computer hard drives. And in instances where one party is “hiding” property or assets, we will employ professionals, including forensic accountants, to trace and track down these assets.

Our Certified Mediators Have Successfully Helped Many Others

One popular option to attempt to amicably resolve your divorce without the necessity of antagonistic litigation is to try the mediation process. Three of our attorneys are trained in collaborative law and are certified court-sanctioned mediators. Our Bethesda law firm has three on-site conference rooms that we use for mediation sessions. Many clients are choosing mediation to resolve their no-fault divorces because they find mediation to be faster and less costly than litigation. In many situations, our clients are able to maintain more control over the outcome of their divorce than they would have if all of the important decision-making was left in the hands of a judge.
