b”Lawyer Reveals the Truth About Receiving a Separation in Maryland
Someone who is interested in receiving a separation in Maryland is likely going through a stressful and worrisome time. Besides worrying about the future and what it has in store, you also have to think about the logistics. For instance, you may be wondering how a person files for a Maryland separation. Here, a lawyer discusses how to become separated.
Becoming Separated
In order to become separated, you don’t actually have to file anything,. Simply abstaining from sexual relations and avoiding sleeping under the same roof is all you have to do to consider yourself separated.
Filing For Divorce
Filing for divorce in Maryland is much different than separating. Here, you actually need to draw up papers and should have a lawyer on your side. For most cases, a person can file for a Maryland divorce if he or she and the spouse have avoided sexual contact and haven’t slept under the same roof for at least 12 consecutive months. Once you have fulfilled these requirements, you can begin the Maryland divorce process.
If you are considering getting a separation in Maryland, you probably have quite a few questions. Instead of trying to figure them out on your own and risk receiving the wrong information, it helps to have an experienced lawyer fighting with you.
