FAQ

However, this ground requires that you be separate and apart for 12 months prior to filing. In Maryland, an absolute divorce on the ground of voluntary separation may be obtained by either party 12 months after the parties agree to separate and then live separate and apart in separate homes without sexual intimacy.

Instead, the new law, going into effect for all divorces filed AFTER October 1, 2023, authorizes a court to grant a divorce on the new grounds of 1) six-month separation, if the parties have lived separate and apart for six months without interruption before filing the divorce or 2) irreconciliable differences based on ...

If one spouse leaves or abandons the other, it may be considered desertion, which can be a legal cause for absolute divorce when it occurs for 12 consecutive months.

Maryland is one of the unique states that requires there to be a fault ground to get an immediate divorce without a waiting period.

Fault Grounds: Maryland accepts seven fault grounds for an absolute divorce, including adultery, desertion, conviction of certain crimes, insanity, cruelty, and excessively vicious conduct. We will focus on adultery and desertion as examples.
