December 2021
In our Maryland Divorce section, we updated links to outside resources in English and Spanish in Where can I find additional information about divorce laws in Maryland?
We updated our Workplace Restraining Orders (Filed by Employers) page to include links to the new Georgia and Tennessee workplace violence restraining orders pages. We also clarified which states have a separate workplace violence restraining order and which states allow employers to file for the same type of order that victims use, adding Maryland to the latter category based on 2021 changes that now allow employers to file for a peace order. Changes made in English and Spanish.
We added 29 statutes related to custody and child support to the Selected Guam Statutes page.
In our Tennessee Workplace Violence Restraining Orders section, we revised Who is protected under this law? to clarify that a victim cannot file on their own behalf, only the employer can file for them.
