The Black Nonprofits and Business Podcast


Mar 4, 2024

Miriam Rhoden-Shedden has been an attorney since December 2016. She is barred in Jamaica, Vermont, and Maryland and will be starting the process of becoming barred in DC in February 2024. Since 2022, she has handled family law cases and recently started handling landlord and tenant matters.

She firmly believes that knowledge is power and it is her objective, as well as mine, to impart as much information as I can so people are empowered. 

 During this conversation we discuss the following topics:
 1. What happens if your child(ren) are taken by the state? Resources for low income parents; 
 2. With aging parents, what can you do to handle their affairs if they become incapacitated; 
 3. How can parents legally make decisions for their special needs adult children; 
 4. Do grandparents have any rights to your children?;
 5. How can fathers ensure that they are a part of their children’s lives when the mother is withholding access;
 6. How does custody impact child support in Maryland? 
and more!
