Child custody proceedings are among the most emotionally charged aspects of family law. In Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., courts are guided by the best interests of the child, with a focus on creating stable, supportive environments after separation or divorce. These proceedings often involve challenges such as unequal parental involvement, relocation, or complex parenting dynamics. At Mir & Bashir LLC, we guide clients through every aspect of custody—legal, physical, international, and donor-related—with skill and compassion.

We help families resolve these sensitive matters with care, ensuring outcomes that respect intent and protect the child.
Courts in Maryland consider factors such as parental fitness, the character of the parents, the child’s preference (if of sufficient age), and the primary caregiver’s role.
Virginia law looks at the child’s age, physical and mental condition, the parent-child relationship, and each parent’s role in the child’s upbringing.
In Washington, D.C., if a child is of sufficient age and maturity, their preference may be considered by the court, though it is not the sole determining factor.
The primary caregiver role refers to the parent who has provided the majority of daily care and emotional support, which can be a significant factor in custody decisions.
To increase your chances, document your involvement in your child’s life, maintain open communication with the other parent, and create a stable, supportive environment for your child.
If you disagree with a custody decision, consult with a lawyer to explore your options, which may include filing an appeal or seeking a modification based on new evidence or changes in circumstances.
