What Is Divorce By Mutual Consent?

A fairly new way to file for divorce in Maryland is a process called “divorce by mutual consent.”

This process is available to individuals:

  • Who have no minor children together
  • Who have a written agreement about spousal support and division of property

The benefit: Under divorce by mutual consent, a couple does not have live separately for one year before they can divorce. With this process, a couple can be legally divorced in a few months.

It has the added benefit of saving each individual money that may be spent on living apart while trying to reach agreements on alimony.

While no one enters into a marriage with the intention of separating, sometimes the only solution to relational problems is for individuals to part ways. At the Baltimore, Maryland, law firm of Chad Edward Cos, LLC, we can help you with all aspects of divorce, legal separation and related child custody and support issues.
