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
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
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
Best interests of the child
No
- •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
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
- •Temporary (pendente lite)
- •Rehabilitative
- •Indefinite (permanent)
- •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.
