In Maryland, certified mail alone is not sufficient to serve a party with a legal pleading. In order to protect your rights, you should hire an attorney. You have tagged your question as a relating to Child Custody. While everything may seem straight forward to you, properly presenting a case in a courtroom is completely different from arguing cordially with friends over coffee. It takes professional skill and experience to not only present a child custody case, but to do so persuasively. If you value your rights, then you need to hire an attorney immediately. I am an experienced child custody lawyer in Baltimore. Feel free to contact my firm.
