Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Maryland?
To file for divorce in Maryland, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing. The case is typically heard in the county where you or your spouse resides. For Germantown residents, this is Montgomery County.
How long does a divorce take in Maryland?
A no-fault divorce based on a 12-month separation takes at least one year from the date of separation. An absolute divorce based on adultery or cruelty can be granted sooner, but requires proof. Uncontested cases with a signed agreement may be resolved in a few months.
What factors determine child custody in Maryland?
Maryland courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors include each parents ability to care for the child, the childs relationship with each parent, and the stability of each home. The court may order joint or sole custody, and must consider the childs preference if the child is old enough.
