Divorce can be very traumatic for the parties involved, their extended families, and friends.
When a marriage ends, spouses and their children (if any) frequently face varied and complex obstacles in an effort to find their normal footing. It can be a very stressful process : establishing new living arrangements, changing schedules, decisions about money, and about property. Securing competent and experienced legal counsel in this process as early as possible can be very helpful in reducing the stress of this situation.
I have advised my many clients over many years that the goal should be to "successfully survive" the divorce, not necessarily to "win" it. In the thousands of divorces I have both represented clients in, as well as observed from a safe distance, I have rarely seen anyone come out of the divorce process as a so-called outright "winner". That is simply not the goal of the divorce process.
In Maryland, by definition "marriage" is a lawful civil contract between two people. "Divorce" in Maryland is a legal ending or termination of a lawful marriage, which is ordered by a court [a circuit court].
There are two possible types of divorce in Maryland : " Limited", which is actually the equivalent of a legal separation, and "Absolute", which is a final court-ordered divorce that ends absolutely the marriage. In both a limited as well as an absolute divorce, the married couple must meet statutory requirements such as residency in the state, legally-accepted basis for the divorce, etc. In sum, a limited divorce (or legal separation) is a legal action where a married couple is separated by court order. It does not end the marriage . An absolute divorce, on the other hand, permanently dissolves the marriage.
During the period of a limited divorce, neither spouse may remarry, or have sexual relations with another person (this is adultery). However, once a decree of absolute divorce is entered by the court, either person may remarry,etc.
