No one should feel unsafe because of the actions of another. If you are being abused, harassed, stalked, threatened or otherwise harmed, there are legal actions you can take to make this behavior stop. Two possible actions include filing a protective order and filing a peace order.

The two types of orders are similar to each other, so people sometimes get confused about what the difference is between them and when they should file for one over the other. However, by having a better understanding of the similarities and differences of these orders, you can better select the option that is right for your situation.

Social media has become so entrenched in modern life that many Maryland spouses think very little about how their messages and posts might one day be used against them in a court of law. When it comes to high asset divorce, social media often plays a very large role in how the process moves forward. Being aware of the potential damage that could be done by the type of information shared online can help spouses make savvy decisions about how they use the internet and how they proceed in divorce.

To begin, it's important to understand that absolutely nothing an individual does online is ever really private. While there are many different apps and tools that promise to keep your messages and photos private, there are an equal number of tools that allow attorneys and others to access everything that has been said or done online. Thinking about how social media activities could be viewed out in the open, in the harsh light of a courtroom, could help many spouses avoid embarrassing outcomes.

There are millions of people in Maryland and around the world who are customers of Amazon, the online retail giant. Jeff Bezos, the CEO and founder of the company, has an estimated fortune of $137 billion. Unfortunately, Bezos' 25-year marriage has ended and he is in the middle of a high asset divorce, complicated further by the absence of a prenuptial agreement.

According to earlier reports, Amazon was founded during his marriage to his estranged wife, MacKenzie. He had discussed the startup company with her and consulted with her about various ideas regarding its operations. Since the company came into existence during the course of the couple's marriage, it is considered marital property and would be divided in divorce proceedings. It is, however, unclear if the couple had a postnuptial or other type of marital agreement in place. Experts have weighed in on how to avoid a similar predicament.

Celebrity couples get divorced just like any other couple in Maryland and elsewhere around the country. Every couple going through a split faces similar issues, including property division, spousal or child support, and child custody. The biggest difference is that celebrities often have every detail of their breakup documented in the media. While most news sources are quick to provide sordid accounts of the messiest marital conflicts, one recent article praised the way one famous couple has continued to co-parent, following their divorce.

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt issued a statement in Aug. 2017 that they would be separating. At the time, they said that they would continue to parent their son, Jack, together, even though they would not be a couple anymore. They wanted  him to know that he had two parents who loved him very much and that they would both be involved in his life.
