Alimony is based on the need for economic support in order to meet living expenses. In Maryland, alimony is not awarded as a punishment, as compensation, or because the one spouse owes the other a debt.
There are three grounds for divorce: Mutual consent - You and your spouse can agree to divorce and sign a written agreement (called a marital settlement agreement) that resolves all issues related to alimony, marital property, and the care, custody, and support of any minor or dependent children.
There is no specific requirement for the length of the marriage in order to qualify for alimony in the state of Maryland, but those who have been married for just six months would not expect to receive the same amount as those who have been married for seven years.
Myth #1: Courts split marital property 50-50. Although divorcing couples may choose to divide their marital property through an equal division, under a Settlement Agreement, the Judge can split the property unequally under Maryland divorce laws.
Default Divorce Options Under Maryland law, your spouse has 30 days to file a response to your Complaint, or 60 days if they live out of state. If your spouse misses that deadline, your attorney may file a request for Order of Default and send them a notice with the hearing date.
If due diligence fails and the spouse successfully avoids the attempts to serve the papers, the process moves into a default divorce process. In this case, the respondent has essentially given up their rights to negotiate the separation of marital assets and any issues of child custody and support orders.
If both parties agree to divorce, a court may grant an absolute 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.
In Maryland, it is not necessary for both spouses to agree to get a divorce. In truth, either spouse can file a Complaint for Absolute Divorce, even if the other spouse wants to remain in the marriage or try to save it.
