There are three(3) new Maryland Divorce Laws that were enacted in 2015 which make the divorce process in Howard County more convenient.
The first law clarifies and simplifies the circumstances in which a married couple can get a limited (partial) )divorce.. This law removes elements of the limited divorce grounds that required voluntariness of the separation and the absence of any reasonable expectation of reconciliation. That is, this law recognizes that if the parties no longer live together, and one of them no longer wants to continue the marriage relationship, neither a court nor the state of Maryland should prevent the limited divorce process.
The second new law reduces the time from one year to six months the time needed for one of the parties to reside in Maryland if the grounds (legal basis) for divorce occurred outside of the state of Maryland.
The third new divorce law creates an entirely new ground ("legally good enough" reason) for divorce. It essentially allows a couple who have worked out all the terms to their divorce , and who have no children in common, to avoid waiting up to a full year before asking the court for a divorce. This law allows divorce with no waiting period where a couple with no children in common have settled all issues in a WRITTEN and SIGNED AGREEMENT that is presented to the court.
