Divorce In Maryland

The most recent Census Bureau data shows that there are lower rates of divorce in the Northeast and specifically Maryland. This has been attributed to the higher level of education and the later age of marriage in this area. There is no residency requirement if both spouses are currently residents of Maryland and the cause of divorce happened in Maryland. The law refers to two different types of divorce, absolute and limited. There are six different grounds for an absolute decree which include adultery, desertion, voluntary separation, criminal conviction, 2 year separation and insanity. This is considered a permanent termination of marriage. A Limited divorce is similar to what is called a "legal separation" in other states. The major difference is that the spouses are still legally married so therefore cannot remarry.

Maryland Rule 9-204.1

Some courts in Maryland require that divorcing parents in contested cases involving children attend co-parenting classes. The co-parenting education program is designed to provide information on how divorce impacts children, how it changes the relationship, how to make stable transitions between two households, and effective communication skills to reinforce appropriate behavior. Online classes can be taken with prior approval in many courts throughout the state.
