Privacy, Not Secrecy: How Maryland’s New Law Shields Divorce Filings from Public View
Can anyone walk into a Maryland courthouse and read the details of your divorce? In this episode of JGL LAW FOR YOU, David Bulitt and family law attorney Christopher Castellano break down Maryland’s new divorce privacy law, which takes effect October 1, 2026. Until now, anyone could ask to see the complaint, answers, and other filings in a divorce case. Under the new statute, the public can see little more than the fact that a case exists and the final judgment of absolute divorce.
David and Chris explain what the law does and does not change, including why Maryland Judiciary Case Search will still show a case’s docket; why your spouse, the attorneys, and the judge will still see everything you file; and how the statute fits with the existing rules on restricted information in court filings. They also draw an important line between privacy and secrecy and explain why the new law is no reason to be less careful about what you put in a filing.
For anyone who has put off filing for divorce because they don’t want to air their dirty laundry, whether over allegations of abuse or adultery or because they run a business and don’t want customers finding their case records, this episode offers a clear look at what will stay private, what won’t, and why any concern about sensitive information is worth raising with your lawyer early.

Before You Post: When Social Media Becomes Evidence in a Custody Dispute
In this episode of JGL LAW FOR YOU, David Bulitt and family law attorney Christopher Castellano explore how Facebook posts, Instagram reels, videos, jokes, comments, and even seemingly harmless online venting can take on an entirely different meaning inside a custody dispute.
Using the highly publicized Lindsay Clancy trial as a backdrop, they break down how social media can be introduced as evidence, how a sarcastic or out-of-context post can take on a very different meaning in court, and how a single post can raise questions about judgment, parental fitness, credibility, or a parent’s ability to put their children first.
Listeners will also hear practical guidance for navigating social media before and during family law litigation, including why you should never litigate your case online, why angry posts about a co-parent can come back to haunt you, and the simple test Chris recommends before you post: Would you be comfortable explaining it to a judge?

Protecting the Spouse Who Steps Away: Career Sacrifice Clauses in Prenuptial Agreements
What happens when one spouse puts their career on hold for the good of the family? In this episode of JGL LAW FOR YOU, David Bulitt and family law attorney Christopher Castellano discuss how thoughtfully crafted prenuptial agreements can help protect a spouse who leaves the workforce, reduces their hours to care for children, or relocates to support a partner's career.
David and Chris explore the often-overlooked financial impact of career sacrifices and explain how provisions addressing retirement contributions, alimony, life insurance, and career re-entry support can provide greater financial security, fairness, and peace of mind for both spouses.
