Types of Divorce in Maryland

There are several options for you when you need to separate from your partner that come from the circumstances of your marriage and the nature of your potential divorce. 

  • Annulment - For example, if your marriage is determined to be void on the grounds of bigamy, then you can file for an annulment. However, this option only works if the marriage itself is invalid. 
  • Divorce - With a valid marriage, you will need to seek a divorce, especially if you plan on getting married again in the future. 
  • Separation Agreement - If you do not, then a separation agreement may be a better fit for your situation. When you meet with a one of our attorneys, we’ll make sure you understand your options so you can make the best decision for your family.

Required Separation Prior to Divorce in MD

Prior to divorce in the state of Maryland, you need to go through a period of separation from your partner for 12 months before the courts will allow you to complete the divorce proceedings. During this time, you are not allowed to live with your spouse or engage in sexual relations.

Mutual Consent Divorce

However, this is only necessary in the event that you and your spouse are not on the same page. In the case of a mutual consent divorce, this period of separation is not necessary. 

Provable adultery may inspire the courts to grant an immediate absolute divorce. However, you will need to prove the following:

  • Adulterous Disposition: Your spouse was seen showing public affection to another person.
  • Adulterous Opportunity: Your spouse was witnessed at a location where adultery could have occurred.
  • Adulterous Evidence: Text messages, emails, photos, and other media can be admitted to the court as evidence to support your claims.
