BEGINNERS' OVERVIEW OF DIVORCE IN MARYLAND:
1. Marriage in Maryland is defined as a civil contract between two people or parties under Maryland law.
2. Divorce in Maryland is the ending of a marriage as ordered by a Circuit court in Maryland.
3. There are two types of marriage in Maryland : Absolute and Limited. Absolute is a "final" divorce. Limited divorce is sometimes referred to as a " legal separation."
4. It is the absolute divorce that actually dissolves the marriage.
5. The limited divorce is a Maryland legal action where a married couple is separated. The separation is essentially supervised (casually, in general) by the court. The limited divorce is generally used by people who: (a) do not yet have grounds for absolute divorce; (b) need financial relief; and (c) are not able to settle their differences privately. When the court orders a limited divorce, it means the divorce is not permanent.
6 Once a court orders an absolute divorce, the parties are free to remarry; and one party can no longer automatically inherit property from the other. Any property owned by the parties jointly automatically becomes property held in common. This means that each party is a half owner of the property.
