Effective October 1st, 2015, the State of Maryland now has a new and progressive ground for divorce : "mutual consent". This new ground supersedes the previous one-year separation ground which allowed an absolute divorce between the parties only after a couple has separated residences and has lived separate and apart for at least twelve(12) months.
The 4 conditions to qualify for divorce by "mutual consent" include:
(1) The parties have no minor children in common;
(2) The parties have a signed, written settlement agreement covering both alimony and property rights that they submit to the Court;
(3) Neither party asks the Court to set aside their written settlement agreement; and
(4) Both parties appear at the uncontested divorce hearing.
