ATTORNEY PREPARED FILE YOURSELF

Family First Legal’s Attorney-Prepared File It Yourself program gives Maryland families access to attorney‑drafted court documents at a fraction of the cost of full representation. Every document is prepared by a licensed Maryland family law attorney using your specific facts, the correct Maryland court forms, and the filing requirements for your county. Packages are available for use in any Maryland jurisdiction.

Each package includes an optional complimentary 30‑minute phone consultation. The consultation is recommended if you’re unsure which documents you need, but not required. If you choose the consultation, drafting begins after it is completed; if you waive it, drafting begins once we receive your completed intake questionnaire.

All services are offered in Uncontested (both parties agree) and Contested (a dispute exists or cooperation is uncertain) versions. Contested packages include stronger motion language and supporting pleadings designed for adversarial proceedings.

For clients with an active Maryland Circuit Court case, we also offer standalone motion‑only packages. These are ideal when you need a specific motion drafted — such as postponing a hearing, enforcing an order, requesting documents, or addressing a procedural issue — without retaining full representation. Each motion is drafted by a Maryland family law attorney in compliance with the Maryland Rules of Procedure and any local county rules. An optional 30‑minute consultation is available and strongly recommended for first‑time filers.

Please note: These packages prepare the documents only. Filing, service of process, and any required court appearances are the client’s responsibility. If you need an attorney to appear in court, full representation is available.

Response / Opposition to a Motion (Any Type)

If the opposing party has filed a motion against you — a motion to modify, a motion for contempt, a motion to compel, or any other motion — you have the right to file a written Response or Opposition. Maryland courts typically allow 15 days to respond to a motion. This package prepares a written opposition addressing the other party’s motion point by point, with legal argument and a proposed order denying the relief requested. An optional 30-minute phone consultation is available. 

Includes: 

  • Response / Opposition to Motion (addressing each argument raised) 

  • Proposed Order Denying the Motion 

  • Certificate of Service 

  • Step-by-step filing instruction letter 

Notes: 

  • Client must provide a copy of the motion being opposed and all attachments. 

  • Response deadlines vary — check your scheduling order or Maryland Rule 2-311. 

  • Price applies to a single motion response. If multiple motions require responses, contact us for a combined quote. 

  • Turnaround: 2–3 business days from intake receipt (or after consultation if elected).
