I got married in june 2008, as of today, I wish to end the marriage but the state of maryland requires that you separate for at least 1 year. I do not have the time to go through that.
What reasons can I use for ';grounds for divorce'; without having to wait one year? I need to be granted the divorce right away, what reasons can I use for this??I need better answers can you please give me your expert advice on this divorce situation?
Ok I am assuming that the Keith in your name I Love Keith is not your husbands name. So use adultery it seems that is why you need the divorce so quickly. Do your husband a favor and leave he deserves better.I need better answers can you please give me your expert advice on this divorce situation?
Sounds like Maryland has the same laws set out for grounds for divorce as NYS. I have heard you need 2 b legally separated for a year b4 filing for divorce but when my BF saw a lawyer for his divorce, the lawyer stated he didnt need 2 b legally separated for a year. Mind you my BF moved out this past Jan and filed @ the end of Aug. Divorces are also not granted over night, and if all property etc is equally separated and your ex does not contest it will go much quicker. If I'm not mistaken my BF mentioned to his lawyer he was tired of living in misery with his then wife. They currently have a court date set for the end of the month. And the info about adultery is correct. His ex claimed she was also going to get him on adultery but defines adultery as having sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse. The spouse not involved must have proof of this. Meaning pics of having sex.
Why the rush...even if you had grounds, a divorce takes time.....you are at the mercy of the schedualing of Family Court and how much the Judge has on his/her docket...if you plan on getting divorced in Maryland and the state requires you to wait out one year for an uncontested divorce, divorce on grounds will take you even longer, Kiddo, sorry but that is the way it is.....you get on line and wait your turn..you are at the mercy of Family Court %26amp; their time table.
Wow you haven't even been married for 6 months. What is so horrible that you have to have a divorce this minute?
And what do you mean what grounds can you use? Tell the truth!
If you don't have any legitimate reasons for the divorce and have to make something up, then what is so wrong with the marriage in the first place?
wow....
yeah I don't know but wanted to throw a little sympathy your way.
a lawyer is the answer right? but costly.
I am very sorry to hear about your sadness
I wish there was no pain or suffering.
You'll get the divorce I am sure.
and you probably think I'm just stupid, but I think you should improve your relationship with Jesus. Not saying your doing something wrong or being critical in any way but that improving one relationship with Jesus IS ALWAYS the best answer.
commute to a state that requires less time. For example, a friend of mine moved to indiana from wisconsin to do this, only 6 mos here. Check neighboring states.
Why do you want to get a divorce? There's your reason right there unless you just don't want to be married anymore. I don't suggest you lie to the courts just to get a quick divorce.
why you want a divorce? did you know ';till do us part means'; If all couple are just like you then let the marriage dissolve.
anyway its your life but i wish you will happy to do what you think is right for you
Adultery or if he is in prison... physical abuse...
That is about the only three I know of... but that is for Louisiana. Not sure if it is the same in Maryland.
Your could use irreconcilable differences and both sign a stipulation to waive the statutory one year period. Talk to a lawyer. Good Luck.
You got married and a few months later want to divorce, but ';don't have time for that';?
What the heck? You seem pretty knee-jerk.
Why do you need the divorce granted right away?
You can't unless your life is in danger. You haven't even been married 6 months. Really? People get divorced to easy and to fast. Marriage is hard work, keep trying!
The truth of why you just cant wait for a year should do.
Why don't you just request an annulment .. You havent been married for a year yet!
The best answer you will get will be from a lawyer.
See a lawyer. There's always a way if you want it bad enough.
you dont need a reason just .. go quick.. as he going to put you in it to ..i mean run quick..
Grounds for Divorce in Maryland
There are three principal players involved in your marriage that will also be involved in your divorce: you, your spouse, and the state. You cannot simply break up, saddle your charger, and ride off into the sunset. Among other legal considerations, you have to give the state an acceptable reason why you should be allowed to break up. The reason is known as the ground for your divorce. Over the years each state has enacted legislation that governs acceptable grounds.
There are different grounds for a divorce, separation, and annulment. In the case of an absolute divorce, there are six (6) grounds for a court to grant an absolute divorce:
adultery;
desertion (constructive and actual);
voluntary separation;
criminal conviction of a felony or misdemeanor;
two颅year separation;
insanity
Any one of these grounds, if proved, will result in the complete dissolution of the marriage (look to each ground in order to find out how to prove that ground). You can file for divorce under more than one ground: for instance, adultery and desertion.
In the case of a limited divorce, there are four (4) grounds for a court to grant a limited divorce:
cruelty (against the child of the complaining party and/or against the complaining party);
excessive cruelty;
desertion (construction and actual);
voluntary separation.
Although any one of these grounds is enough for a limited divorce, a limited divorce will not completely terminate your marital status. In order to do so you must either seek an absolute divorce or an annulment.
In Maryland there are two types of annulment. In the first type the marriage is declared void ab initio, or from its inception, as though it had never existed. You do not legally have to go to court to have the marriage declared void ab initio, although it's a good idea to do so. In the case of an annulment, a marriage must be ';totally void'; in order for it to be considered annulled.
There are two characteristics of a ';totally void'; marriage:
the marriage posses some defect rendering it susceptible to collateral attack (some evidence that shows the marriage never happened or should have never happened) even after the death of one or both spouses; and
no direct step or proceeding to annul is necessary (although the latter may be desirable).
One such defect is if your spouse was formally married to someone else and still has not divorced that person. Your marriage to this spouse is considered totally void.
Another defective marriage is one done between ';blood'; relatives.There is also a provision that a minor of 16 and 17 years of age or younger than 16 could not marry unless the statutory provision of the Family Law code 搂2颅301 is met.
The second type of annulment is called voidable. A voidable marriage can only be annulled by going to court and having it declared void. . Annulment is available in Maryland, and in some cases it can be obtained under the name of a divorce. Along with obtaining an annulment for bigamy and for lack of consensual age, a marriage may be declared void if the parties did not really intend to marry or if they are incapacitated, as in insanity, intoxication, fraud, and duress. Although annulments may be granted, the preference of the court is not to annul, but for the parties to divorce. Also, any marriage that is expressly prohibited by statute is void by annulment.
