Maryland has recently updated its divorce laws to make the process faster and less stressful. As of October 1, 2023, the required separation period before divorce has been shortened from one year to six months. This change allows couples to complete their divorce sooner. Furthermore, Maryland now recognizes “irreconcilable differences” as a valid reason for divorce, removing the necessity to prove faults like adultery or desertion. These changes aim to lessen the emotional and financial strain of divorcing.
