Taylor v. Taylor
Maryland Court of Appeals
508 A.2d 964 (1986)
- Written by Rich Walter, JD
Facts
Neil Randall Taylor III (plaintiff) sued his estranged wife, Judith Ann Taylor (defendant), for divorce. Lawyers for each spouse worked out a visitation schedule whereby the Taylors’ three children spent time with each parent pending the outcome of the case. The case was tried five months later. In granting Neil’s divorce, the trial judge ordered the ex-spouses to continue the visitation arrangement, which the judge characterized as “a sort of joint custody.” Judith objected to the custody order and appealed. An intermediate appellate court upheld the order. Judith’s appeal reached the Maryland Court of Appeals three years after the divorce became final.
