Divorce

The Maryland Judiciary provides the following information regarding divorce:

• a basic explanation of the divorce process in Maryland;
• the forms needed to pursue a divorce action, including complaint forms for absolute divorce; and
• contact information for Family Court Help Centers from which you may be able to get general legal information or limited legal advice on matters like divorce, custody, and child support.

The Maryland State Bar Association has information on divorce mediation.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. We provide these links for your information only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page.
