Maryland Family Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Maryland
Maryland adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. 30 days from signing.
Alimony in Maryland: How It Works
Maryland calls it alimony. Indefinite alimony only when the spouses' standards of living would otherwise be "unconscionably disparate.
Annulment in Maryland
An annulment in Maryland declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Bigamy, incest, mental incapacity.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Maryland
Maryland child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. No presumption for or against joint custody — best-interests standard governs both legal and physical custody decisions.
Child Emancipation in Maryland
Maryland child emancipation generally requires age Common-law or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Maryland
Maryland child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. Reasonable notice.
Child Support Calculations in Maryland
Maryland calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Maryland
Maryland unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Maryland
Maryland collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Maryland
Maryland does NOT recognize common-law marriage. Cohabitation alone — even for decades — does not create marriage rights here.
Family-Court Contempt in Maryland
Maryland family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Maryland
Maryland is a pure no-fault state — divorce is granted on the basis of an irretrievable breakdown. No fault grounds are available.
