Can anyone help me with these questions?:

1.  Can we (wife and I) be legally seperated in Maryland, while living in the same home?

2. Does having bad credit negatively effect one's attempt to gain full custody of children?

3. Can one still pay child support is the court grants shared custody?

Thanks in advance

Getting a divorce soon. Currently live in Baltimore City. Wife is from out of country (Canada) and I'm from NJ. We have a 2 year old. She will try and throw the kitchen sink at me. Need SOLID legal advice. Want fair and equal treatment. Need people who have gone thru similiar situation to please provide ATTORNEY suggestions.....

Quick question..... If I were to win joint leagal and/or joint custody custody, does that absolve me from having to pay child support?

found out the wife's going to file for divorce and hit me with the kitchen sink. Would like to have a reputable, honest and hard working representative in my corner for the proceedings. Anyone have any suggestions?

My wife desperately wants a divorce, but is afraid to go to the process (losing the car, house, effects on our child, etc...). She's recently categorized our marriage as "abusive," to which I'v objected. I've placed my hands on her one time in the past (squeezed her neck) and she calls our marriage "abusive" because of it. Police were not involved. I'm afraid if she does file divorce, she would try and categorize our marriage as "abusive." Is she right?

Mentally preparing myself for my first divorce. We have a 23 month old and I'm thinking about fighting for custody. We currently reside in Baltimore, MD. Does anyone know how easy, or hard it is for a hard working father to win full custody. To be fair, my wife is a good mother. Her problems are mainly financial (bad credit in 2 countries) and psychological (adult ADD). Any advice?

Thanks to all for their advice. I will file an Ex Parte. Another question I have is regarding joint or shared custody. I feel embarrasssed I don't know this but can I be subjected to pay child support and/or alimony if my wife agrees to or a court mandates joint or shared custody?

Hello all, 
As you can tell by my subject heading, I am in need of advice. I'm currently in a marriage that will soon end in divorce. My wife is a Canadian, we currently live in Baltimore USA and have a 2 year old together. My wife drops not so subtle hints about filing and "taking my son away from me." I have seen the marriage slowly fail and am realistic to this inevitable outcome. My wife has a good and secure job in Baltimore, but very little else. Her credit was bad in Canada before she left to move stateside and she applied, received and propmtly ruined her credit here in the states. She has zero money saved and I fear she has no other chioce but to move to her mother's home in Canada. I believe that she wants our son to have an active relationship with her father, but obviously that will be difficult is she moves back home. I have entertained the thought of fighting for custody, but the only bullets I have are her bad credit (US and Canada) and her erratic behavior for which she's seeing a psycharist and taking medication (my wife is diagnosed with ADD). I have found out that she has joined an online dating network and Im starting to wonder if I should start "building my case" to try and win physical/legal custody. I feel like I have no chance, no matter what I do and/or prove. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
