Contested divorce

Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated and what factors courts consider can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Maryland typically balances the finances through a “monetary award” rather than splitting up individual assets. Legal guidance can help you understand how the process works and what to expect.

Divorcing in Maryland is different
Maryland recently overhauled its divorce law, and a few of its other rules work differently than most states. Here's what matters most before you file.
01
You don't need to be separated to file
Maryland doesn't require a separation period to file on no-fault grounds, and the old “limited divorce” category no longer exists.
04
Where your grounds happened affects whether you need to wait to file
If the grounds for your divorce occurred in Maryland, there's no separate residency waiting period. A residency requirement only kicks in when the grounds occurred outside the state.
02
Maryland typically balances finances with a payment
Instead of dividing individual items, Maryland courts typically order one spouse to pay the other a monetary award to balance things out, aside from a few exceptions.
05
Courts weigh your full financial and personal picture
Maryland courts weigh a wide range of factors, from each spouse's economic circumstances to the age and health of each party, when deciding on a monetary award.
03
Settling by mutual consent means agreeing on everything upfront
To divorce by mutual consent, both spouses need a fully executed written settlement agreement covering property and every other issue in the case before they file.
06
Annulment rules come from several laws, not one
Unlike divorce, Maryland doesn't have one consolidated annulment statute. Grounds are pieced together from marriage-validity laws and case law distinguishing void from voidable marriages.

Your questions, answered
We offer clear, flat-fee pricing based on services, so you know what to expect from the start without hourly billing or hidden fees.
Uncontested divorces may be finalized in a few months, while contested cases can take longer depending on complexity and court scheduling.
At least one spouse must have lived in Maryland for six months before filing for divorce.
Courts look at factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income, and financial needs when determining alimony.
You can, but working with a lawyer ensures that your rights are protected, especially in cases involving property, custody, or support.
Maryland allows both fault-based and no-fault divorces. No-fault divorces typically require a 6-month separation unless both spouses agree to proceed without it.
Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, evaluating factors like parenting ability, stability, and the willingness to foster relationships with both parents.
You’ll need tax returns, pay stubs, mortgage or lease agreements, credit card statements, bank account records, and retirement account balances.
