The Divorce Process In Maryland
Filing for divorce in Maryland involves several steps. First, you must meet residency requirements. Under the law, at least one person must currently live here to file for divorce unless the reason for divorce occurred outside the state, in which case one person must have been a resident here for at least six months.
Next, your attorney will file the appropriate paperwork. Required forms include the complaint for divorce, financial statements and a marital settlement agreement if applicable. You will also need to establish the grounds for divorce, which include:
- Mutual consent
- Living apart for six months
- Irreconcilable differences
Generally, the process can take 3-12 months, depending on whether you and your spouse agree on terms and whether you resolve matters outside of court or through courtroom litigation.
