Maryland family law overview

Understanding Maryland's family law statutes helps you protect your rights and plan your case. Here's what you need to know.

Divorce Requirements

Residency6 months if grounds arose in Maryland, 1 year otherwise
Waiting PeriodNone for mutual consent divorce (since 2023), 6 months separation for contested no-fault
No-Fault GroundsMutual consent (no waiting period) or 6-month separation
Fault Grounds

Adultery, Desertion (12+ months), Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor with 3+ years sentence, Cruelty, Insanity (3+ years)

Maryland eliminated the 12-month separation requirement in 2023, replacing it with mutual consent divorce (no waiting period) and a 6-month separation option.

Property Division

Equitable Distribution

Maryland is an equitable distribution state. The court divides marital property fairly based on monetary and non-monetary contributions, the circumstances leading to divorce, and each spouse's economic situation. Maryland courts can only divide marital property — they cannot transfer title of separately owned property.

Maryland's approach is unique: the court can grant a monetary award to achieve equity but generally cannot directly transfer one spouse's separately titled property to the other.

Child Custody

Standard

Best interests of the child

Joint Custody Preference

No

Key Factors
  • •Fitness of the parents
  • •Character and reputation of each parent
  • •Desire of each parent and agreements between them
  • •Potential for maintaining natural family relations
  • •Preference of the child (if of sufficient age and judgment)

Maryland does not have a statutory presumption for joint custody, but courts regularly award joint legal custody when parents can cooperate.

Child Support

Calculation ModelIncome Shares
Age of Termination18 years old

Maryland uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined adjusted actual income. Guidelines apply to combined income up to $30,000/month.

Support may continue to 19 if the child is still in high school. Courts may also order support for college expenses.

Alimony & Spousal Support

Types Available
  • •Temporary (pendente lite)
  • •Rehabilitative
  • •Indefinite (permanent)
Factors Considered
  • •Ability of the party seeking alimony to be self-supporting
  • •Time needed to gain education or training
  • •Standard of living during the marriage
  • •Duration of the marriage
  • •Contributions to the well-being of the family
  • +3 more factors

Indefinite alimony is available when the court finds that the spouse cannot become self-supporting due to age, illness, disability, or the standard of living would be unconscionably disparate.
