Ending a marriage in Maryland will get easier and faster when a no-fault divorce law takes effect Sunday.
The Democrat-led General Assembly passed the measure on April 7, and Democratic Gov. Wes Moore signed it into law on May 16.
Under the changes, spouses seeking a divorce need only demonstrate that they have lived physically “separate lives” for six uninterrupted months — even if they reside under the same roof — or assert that they have “irreconcilable differences.” Rama Taib-Lozez, a family law attorney at Stein Sperling in Rockville, expects the number of divorces to increase due to the changes.
Previously, state law required that couples live in separate locations for 12 months before receiving a divorce on those grounds.
