Divorce Series: Determining a Legal Reason (or Ground) for Divorce

NOTE: On October 1, 2023, Maryland’s divorce law changed. This content has not yet been updated. The grounds for divorce are now mutual consent, 6-month separation, and irreconcilable differences. Limited divorce will not be available after October 1. Read the law. You may want to speak to a lawyer about how the changes affect your case.
