FAQs About Divorce

  • What are the grounds for divorce in Maryland?

    In Maryland, you can file for divorce on several grounds, including adultery, desertion, cruelty, excessively vicious conduct, and mutual consent. Each ground has specific requirements that must be met to proceed with the divorce.

  • How is property divided in a divorce?

    Maryland follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning that marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. The court considers various factors, such as the length of the marriage, contributions to the marriage, and each party’s financial situation.

  • What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?

    Legal separation allows spouses to live apart and make formal arrangements for finances, child custody, and support without ending the marriage. Divorce, on the other hand, legally dissolves the marriage and allows both parties to remarry.

  • How is child custody determined in a divorce?

    Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. The court considers factors such as each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the child’s needs and preferences.


  • What is alimony, and how is it determined?

    Alimony, or spousal support, is a payment from one spouse to the other to provide financial assistance during or after a divorce. The court considers factors such as the duration of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and each spouse’s financial resources and needs.

  • How long does the divorce process take?

    The length of the divorce process varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether the parties can reach an agreement. An uncontested divorce can take a few months, while a contested divorce with significant disputes may take much longer.

  • Do I need a lawyer for my divorce?

    While it is not legally required to have a lawyer, having legal representation can be highly beneficial. A lawyer can provide expert advice, protect your rights, and help you navigate the complexities of the divorce process.

  • Can we use mediation to settle our divorce?

    Yes, mediation is an effective way to resolve disputes and reach agreements on issues such as property division, child custody, and alimony. Mediation can save time and money and reduce the emotional strain of a contested divorce.
