Do I need an attorney?

The state of Maryland does not require that you have an attorney when filing for divorce; however, it is strongly recommended that you speak to an experienced divorce lawyer about your case. The divorce process can be very lengthy, emotional, and complex, especially if there are children involved. Having an attorney on your side can prove invaluable. At DiPietro Law Group, PLLC, we offer compassionate, personalized representation and dedicated advocacy from start to finish. Our attorneys can help you fully understand all of your legal options and work to protect your interests throughout the process.
What steps should I take when filing for divorce?

If you wish to file for divorce in Maryland, you may choose to file either for a “no-fault” divorce or a “fault” divorce. If you are filing for a no-fault divorce, you may only need to cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce. If you wish to file for a fault divorce, you may do so on the grounds of cruelty, desertion, or adultery. In either case, you will need to fill out and file the proper paperwork. You and your spouse will need to sign all the appropriate paperwork, sometimes in the presence of a notary. You will want to make multiple copies of signed paperwork—a copy for yourself, for your spouse, and for the court.
How long will it take for my divorce to be finalized?

Before filing for divorce, it is required that a divorcing couple is separated and living apart for at least 12 months. If you file for fault divorce on the grounds of adultery, there is no waiting period; once you have proven adultery, you may be granted a divorce immediately. The total length of the divorce process depends on the complexity of the case.
Does my case need to go to court?

Not every family law case goes to court. Mediation is an option for parties that are able to agree on the various terms involved in their case. For example, if you and your spouse have decided to get divorced and you believe you will be able to agree on issues like child custody and support, spousal support, asset division, and other relevant factors, you may be able to resolve your divorce through mediation. If, however, your spouse refuses to compromise on child custody or property division, you will have to resolve your case in court. In either instance, it is a good idea to have an experienced attorney on your side that can help you understand your options and protect your rights.
