Divorce
Prenuptial Agreements are contracts between couples contemplating marriage whereby they expressly agree on what will happen to their assets in the unhappy event of separation, divorce, or death. A carefully crafted Prenuptial Agreement can save a lot of time, stress and money by identifying assets and income prior to marriage and determining exactly how they are to be divided in unfortunate circumstances. Prenuptial Agreements have the potential to eliminate the possibility of a contested divorce or probate estate case. Ms. McCann has the knowledge and experience to draft Prenuptial Agreements with special care and diplomacy thereby ensuring that her clients are protected regardless of the outcome of the future marriage.

Divorce
Prenuptial Agreements are contracts between couples contemplating marriage whereby they expressly agree on what will happen to their assets in the unhappy event of separation, divorce, or death. A carefully crafted Prenuptial Agreement can save a lot of time, stress and money by identifying assets and income prior to marriage and determining exactly how they are to be divided in unfortunate circumstances. Prenuptial Agreements have the potential to eliminate the possibility of a contested divorce or probate estate case. Ms. McCann has the knowledge and experience to draft Prenuptial Agreements with special care and diplomacy thereby ensuring that her clients are protected regardless of the outcome of the future marriage.
Child Support
Maryland law requires separated parents to support their children in accordance with their combined standards of living. Typically, one parent pays the other parent child support pursuant to a legal formula under Maryland law called the Maryland Child Support Guidelines. Ms. McCann has the ability and expertise to calculate and advocate the correct amount of child support under the law.
Child Custody and Visitation
Divorce can encompass a number of complex issues such as child custody and child support, use and possession of the family home, alimony or spousal support, and asset identification and division. Often these issues must be dealt with at a time when spouses are struggling emotionally and financially. Ms. McCann recognizes that, in many cases, one spouse is more emotionally prepared for divorce than the other spouse. She strives to make the process as painless as possible by taking the time to understand her clients’ individual needs and working with them in a compassionate manner. If it is possible to achieve a positive result through negotiation or mediation and settlement, she will embrace that process. If not, she prepares her clients and their cases fully in order to maximize the probability of a positive outcome in court.
Premarital Agreement
Kathleen Duckett McCann provides professional mediation services in the areas of law which directly impact the family. Those areas include divorce, child custody, child support, property division, alimony, separation agreements and prenuptial agreements; wills, trusts, and estates; and adult guardianship. She is court-approved and frequently appointed by the Circuit Court for Queen Anne’s County as mediator in all types of family law cases.
Guardianship
Ms. McCann has the knowledge, training and experience to counsel and advise clients should these issues arise, and to represent them in court in the event it is necessary to pursue an adult guardianship case. She has been court-appointed countless times to represent disabled persons over whom adult guardianship has been sought. She has also represented persons seeking guardianship of a loved one. She works closely with her clients so that they are fully informed about the law and the process before deciding to file an adult guardianship case. She remains current with the pertinent areas of law so that she can provide her clients with the latest information and advice. She understands the nature of these sensitive issues and provides her clients with competent, caring representation should it be necessary to file or defend an adult guardianship case in court.
Spousal Support
When spouses separate, there is frequently a disparity between their incomes. Depending on the extent of the disparity, one spouse may be entitled to spousal support from the other spouse – either for a specified period of time or, under certain circumstances, indefinitely. There are many factors that a court must consider when deciding the issue of spousal support. Some of those factors are: (1) ability of the person seeking alimony to be self-supporting; (2) time necessary for the person to gain sufficient education or training to find suitable employment; (3) standard of living of the couple prior to separation; (4) length of marriage, (5) age and health of the spouses, and (6) circumstances that contributed to the break-up of the marriage.

Workers Compensation
With over 20 years of experience, Ms. McCann has practiced law in Maryland State and Federal trial courts, Maryland appellate courts, the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings, the Social Security Administration, and the Maryland Workers Compensation Commission. Ms. McCann earned her B.A. degree in psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 1979. She attended the University of Baltimore School of Law from 1993 until 1996 while raising her two children. She was a member of the University of Baltimore Law Review and the Heuisler Honor Society. Ms. McCann graduated from law school magna cum laude in December of 1996. She was admitted to the Maryland Bar in June of 1997.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate plans typically include the WILL, the POWER OF ATTORNEY, and the ADVANCE DIRECTIVE (also known as the living will). For those with more complex estates, particularly when property is owned outside of the State of Maryland, a REVOCABLE TRUST may be an appropriate estate planning tool for management of property both before and after death. Additionally, a TRUST written into the will (called a “testamentary trust”) may be appropriate in order to preserve the estate from various death taxes if the value of the estate exceeds a certain amount, and/or to manage property left to a minor or disabled person. Kathleen Duckett McCann Law is compassionate, experienced and knowledgeable in counseling clients regarding their estate plan, and in drafting appropriate documents to suit an individual’s particular goals and needs. She takes the time to understand each client’s unique situation in order to advise her or him appropriately. She understands how difficult it can be to address these matters and to make such decisions. She wants her clients to fully understand the documents she prepares for them and to walk away with peace of mind. She has the patience and sensitivity to assist clients through this process so that they are confident that they have done everything they can to protect their loved ones, their property, and themselves in the event of disability or death.
