Instituting divorce proceedings is difficult. The end of a marriage is painful and navigating the legal process can be very daunting. At S.B. Freeman Law Group, your emotional, mental, physical, and financial well-being are paramount. We help you through this difficult time so that you are able to focus more on supporting your family’s well-being. Here is an overview of the Maryland divorce process.
In Maryland, there are two types of divorce: fault-based divorce and no fault divorce. In a no-fault divorce, the spouse requesting the divorce does not have to prove that the other spouse did something wrong. On the other hand, in a fault-based divorce the requesting spouse must prove cruelty of treatment, excessively vicious conduct, abuse, adultery, or desertion.
Maryland Law allows for people to pursue multiple reasons or grounds for divorce and there are benefits, disadvantages, and burdens of proof associated with each ground for divorce. At your initial consultation, all of this will be discussed so that the client can make better decisions from the beginning of the case. For all of the layers of the Maryland divorce law, you need an experienced Maryland divorce lawyer.
That will mostly depend on how quickly you and your spouse can come to agreements on some or all of the issues. The more you agree upon the faster your case is resolved, the less it costs, and the better you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse will get along in the future.
If you do not have minor children, the S.B. Freeman Law Group can help you negotiate, draft, and sign a viable binding agreement to resolve all of the issues in your marriage. Once that happens our experienced attorney can get your case through the courthouse extremely fast based on a mutual consent divorce.
There are ways to hasten the final divorce hearing date, but the S.B. Freeman Law Group will listen to you and work with you to make sure that you are only in hurry to get things done right. After all, the timespan from the beginning to the end of the divorce is not as important as the ensuring that your rights are protected along the way. Many different factors influence the timeline of your case. For example, where you file for divorce (what County), the decisions or agreements made along the way, and the services that are needed for your case impact the timeline for the final outcome. The S. B. Freeman Law Group works to get you the best result for your family outside of Court but if your matter must go to Court, then our experienced team at S.B. Freeman Law Group will help you be ready.
