Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: divorce

If the divorce was by agreement of the parties, one year. If it wasn't, 2 years.

Re: divorce

One year for absolute divorce.

Re: divorce

In Maryland, the parties must live separately and refrain from sex for at least one year (for voluntary separation) or two years (involuntary separation). There are other grounds for divorce that do not require separation (e.g., adultery, constructive desertion). Moreover, if one party has moved to DC, it is only a six-month separation period there for a no-fault voluntary divorce (and one year for involuntary). We handle divorce cases in both DC and MD.
