Maryland Child Custody Lawyer

Chancellor did not abuse his discretion in awarding custody of seven-year-old child to his paternal grandmother and step-grandfather rather than to his natural mother, where chancellor’s reasons for finding exceptional circumstances included that child had been with grandparents since one week or one month after his birth, grandparents met all child’s needs, there was close relationship between child and grandparents, mother was lax in discipline, child preferred grandparents, child’s “emotional parents” were grandparents, and child derived sense of security from status quo.
