Guardianship

Matters

A minor guardianship may become necessary when a grandparent, relative, fictive kin, or other trusted adult steps in to care for a child. A guardianship can help provide stability for the child while giving the caregiver legal authority to make important decisions on the child's behalf.

We guide the process with care so authority is clearly established and properly maintained.

Jurisdiction

Matters

Family law procedures and standards differ between Washington, D.C. and Maryland. The way a case is approached, and the outcome that can be achieved often depends on
those differences.

Family matters create defining turning points.What happens next depends on how those moments are handled and whether the right structure is put in place from the start.

If you’re facing a family matter, timing matters. Early action preserves options.

“I met Ms. Braxton after I temporarily lost my two children in a CPS case. I was frantic. Ms. Braxton calmly helped me through the entire process in D.C. Then, when my daughter's paternal grandmother filed a third-party custody case in Maryland seeking to keep my daughter, Ms. Braxton represented me in that case as well. After a multi-day contested custody trial, I got my daughter back and was reunited with both of my children.”
