Question:
My soon to be ex-wife has just had me served with my writ of summons. My question is: do I need or have to fill out a financial statement? Second question: she listed a condition of visitation, do I need to respond to this? Is there anything else I need to do in order to protect myself?
Answer:
Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Maryland. In general, financial statements are required by the jurisdiction prior to entry of a divorce. You can contact your local courthouse regarding those forms, and when they need to be filed. I am unsure what you mean as a condition of visitation. I suggest you seek counsel from a local attorney to at least determine where this matter stands and to protect yourself as fully as possible.
