Previously, Maryland law required the spouses to (a) live apart for 12 months before filing for divorce or (b) prove fault grounds such as adultery, cruelty, or desertion.<\/p>\n<p>The law was changed in 2016 to <a href=\"https:\/\/machinlawfirm.com\/can-you-get-an-immediate-divorce-in-maryland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allow for &#8220;immediate&#8221; divorce<\/a> (no waiting period) by mutual consent, also known as no-fault divorce.<\/p>\n<p>If you have minor children, you must first have a court-approved marital settlement agreement that addresses child custody and child support before you can get a mutual consent divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Once the divorce papers are filed, the court may issue temporary orders for custody and child support as well as alimony pendente lite (interim spousal support). Our lawyers sit down with you to explain the divorce process and what to expect at each stage. Then we listen to your concerns and questions to develop priorities and a &#8220;game plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/machinlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/divorce.jpeg\" alt=\"Machin Lawfirm\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1620\" title=\"Machin Lawfirm\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tA Comprehensive Approach to the Issues of Divorce\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Our lawyers have backgrounds in business law, immigration and other legal issues that may overlap with divorce.
