      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Maryland divorce mediation offers an alternative to litigation.</p><p>Bethesda, MD -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/18/2015 --  Divorce proceedings are often times consuming, stressful and expensive, making what is a challenging circumstance to begin with even more difficult.

<br />
Divorce mediation may not be the ideal solution for each person, however, for many people it provides a beneficial approach.<br />
<br />
"Divorce may never be &apos;easy&apos; or &apos;fun&apos;, and certainly that&apos;s something we understand," says <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Maryland divorce lawyer Brandon Bernstein" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/attorney-profile/">Maryland divorce lawyer Brandon Bernstein</a>.<br />
<br />
"Yet, there are ways to reduce the burden that you&apos;re facing. For some, that means alleviating some of the stress of the process with divorce mediation. This is a more streamlined and amicable approach that saves you time, money and hassle when both sides are willing to participate. It also offers you more direct control over the outcome."<br />
<br />
As an <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="experienced divorce attorney in Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/family-law/divorce/">experienced divorce attorney in Maryland</a>, Mr. Bernstein has the ability to help people achieve a positive result with their case via divorce mediation. His dedicated approach includes carefully honed insight, along with tactics based on negotiation and compromise in order to produce mutually beneficial solutions.<br />
<br />
As a third party, he listens to both sides and seeks to avoid further entanglements. This also places the power and control into the hands of the couple, rather than the hands of a judge. The entire process often takes less time, and may results in greatly reduced costs, including both literal financial costs as well as the cost of emotional burden and time invested.<br />
<br />
Different solutions and approaches work better for different people given their own circumstances and preferences. For some, that may include seeking a solution via divorce mediation. For other individuals, litigation may be necessary.<br />

      <title>Maryland Makes a Key Addition to Divorce &amp; Separation Laws, Affecting Time Periods Before Divorce for Certain Couples</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Law Offices of Brandon Bernstein, LLC, advises prospective clients on the latest updates to Maryland divorce laws and separation statutes.</p><p>Bethesda, MD -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/30/2015 --  The state of Maryland has passed an important change to its divorce and separation laws, with the update going into effect as of October 1st. The Maryland General Assembly voted to add a new grounds for absolute divorce in Maryland, that of Mutual Consent, and it&apos;s important to understand its impact.<br />
<br />
Brandon Bernstein of the Law Offices of Brandon Bernstein, LLC, and a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="divorce attorney in Bethesda, Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/">divorce attorney in Bethesda, Maryland</a> wants to ensure that local residents are aware of the update and how it may have a bearing on their personal situations.<br />
<br />
"Mutual Consent will have a positive impact on many individuals as they are going through separation and divorce," said <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Maryland divorce attorney" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/family-law/divorce/">Maryland divorce attorney</a> Brandon Bernstein. "It eliminates the waiting period and allows couples without children to get a quicker fresh start, and to move on with less aggravation and hassle."<br />
<br />
Via the new Mutual Consent stipulation in Maryland, parties in the state do not need to wait for the typical one year separation term before proceeding through with divorce. The key stipulation to be eligible for Mutual Consent is that it only applies when the parties do not have any children, currently minors, in common.<br />
<br />
Further, the two parties must execute and submit a written settlement agreement that resolves all issues regarding alimony and distribution of property. If neither party files to set aside that settlement agreement, then both parties must appear before the court at the absolute divorce hearing, and the Mutual Consent grounds for divorce without the separation period can proceed.<br />
<br />
This latest change in the state of Maryland is also a great example of how divorce laws and regulations can be fluid. That&apos;s why it&apos;s so crucial to stay up to date with the latest developments, and to work with an <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="experienced divorce attorney" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/attorney-profile/">experienced divorce attorney</a> who&apos;s well versed in local laws, and any recent changes or additions.<br />
<br />
It&apos;s also essential to keep in mind that divorce and separation laws may be widely different from one state to the next. This update to Maryland&apos;s separation and divorce laws only affects residents of the state.<br />

Anyone who may be going through a difficult period right now and is facing the prospect of separation or divorce is encouraged to learn more by visiting <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="BrandonBernsteinLaw.com" href="http://www.brandonbernsteinlaw.com/">BrandonBernsteinLaw.com</a>, or calling the Law Offices of Brandon Bernstein at 240-395-1418 to schedule a free consultation.<br />

      <title>Divorce Lawyer in Maryland Relishes Working with Individuals of All Backgrounds &amp; Unique Circumstances</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">From clients seeking a gray divorce to those exploring a same sex divorce, The Law Offices of Brandon Bernstein, LLC, welcomes all new clients across the spectrum of circumstance and need.</p><p>Bethesda, MD -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/17/2015 --  The Law Offices of Brandon Bernstein, LLC, steadfastly fights on the behalf of each and every one of its clients, while welcoming individuals of all backgrounds, each person with his or her own unique needs and circumstances. This includes two areas of divorce which have either already begun to rapidly increase, or will be shortly, that of gray divorce and same sex divorce.<br />
<br />
As a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="divorce lawyer in Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/">divorce lawyer in Maryland</a>, Brandon Bernstein has seen firsthand the increase in gray divorces which have been statistically reported across the country. Gray divorces refer to couples over the age of 50 getting divorced, and more specifically, tends to refer to very long-term marriages having lasted decades to that point.<br />
<br />
Since 1990, the divorce rate for those over 50 years of age has doubled, while the divorce rate for those over 65 has increased even more rapidly. This reflects everything from longer life expectancies, to gender roles in families as well as business places, and evolving personal perspectives on meeting both family and personal needs.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, the Supreme Court officially made same sex marriage legal across the entire country. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Divorce attorneys in Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/family-law/divorce/">Divorce attorneys in Maryland</a>, practicing in a state where same sex marriages have already been legalized prior to the Supreme Court&apos;s ruling, have begun to see what attorneys elsewhere will soon see as well, the prospect of same sex divorce. Celebrating the rights of more people being able to legally marry is a wonderful step, however, like all couples and marriages, many will find a difficult journey ahead and face the prospect of a separation or divorce.<br />
<br />
With both <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gray divorce" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/what-is-a-gray-divorce-and-does-it-apply-to-you/">gray divorce</a> and same sex divorce, as with any other personal situation and circumstance, it is important to protect one&apos;s own best interests, first and foremost. Find an experienced attorney who is willing to work tirelessly and diligently towards a positive outcome.<br />
<br />
As a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="family law attorney in Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/family-law/">family law attorney in Maryland</a>, Mr. Bernstein represents clients across a broad range of divorce and family law needs. This includes divorce, separation, child custody, child support, alimony, and more.<br />

      <title>National Divorce Rate Is Continuing to Fall, but What Do Those Statistics Mean?</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Brandon Bernstein, a family law attorney in Bethesda, Maryland, helps prospective clients understand latest divorce statistics</p><p>Bethesda, MD -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/06/2015 --  The latest available data on divorces in the United States indicates that the national divorce rate is steadily dropping. However, it&apos;s important to explore those statistics in more detail, which is why Brandon Bernstein, a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="family law attorney in Bethesda, Maryland" href="http://brandonbernsteinlaw.com/areas-of-practice/family-law/">family law attorney in Bethesda, Maryland</a>, wants to help prospective clients understand them more completely.<br />
<br />
In 2012, the CDC reported that the divorce rate per 1,000 people was 3.4. That includes a sample size of over 248 million Americans, and a total of approximately 851,000 divorces and annulments. The data excludes the states of California, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana and Minnesota.<br />
<br />
This is down from 4.0 in 2000, and the number has been steadily decreasing over that time span. Looking back further, that is down even more compared to previous decades. In 1990, the divorce rate was 4.7 per 1,000 people, and in 1981, it was at 5.3 per 1,000 people, which is when it peaked.<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="An article by Justin Wolfers" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/upshot/how-we-know-the-divorce-rate-is-falling.html">An article by Justin Wolfers</a>, one of the researchers involved, in The New York Times also explored issues regarding the latest divorce statistics. He notes several different ways of measuring the divorce rate and backs up the claim that the trend is that the divorce rate is steadily falling despite some questioning those results.<br />
<br />
Further, more couples today are being divorced at later periods of their lives, including after the age of 50. Known as a "gray divorce", this is one of few areas where divorce is statistically rising. Yet, it also shows that more marriages are lasting longer, and reaching that stage. The divorce rate in the United States for people over the age of 50 has doubled since 1990, and more than doubled for individuals aged 65 and above.<br />
<br />
State by state, the trend continues, with almost all states showing a decrease in the divorce rate.
