Grounds for Divorce in Maryland
The grounds for a divorce are:
- 6 month separation. The parties have lived apart for 6 months without interruption. For purposes of divorce they can live apart, even if they share the same residence.
- Irreconcilable differences. This means that a married couple has conflicts or issues that are so significant that they cannot be resolved and they make it impossible or impractical to continue being married.
- Mutual consent. In order to get a divorce using the mutual consent grounds you must have:
- A Marital Separation Agreement covering alimony, distribution of property, and custody, visitation and support of minor or dependent children if applicable.
- A completed Child Support Guidelines Worksheet if child support is involved.
- Neither party in disagreement with the terms of the Marital Separation Agreement.
- The court in agreement that the tems of the Marital Separation Agreement are in the best interest of the minor or dependent children if applicable.
