Uncontested Divorce in Maryland
A Faster, Calmer Path Forward — With Legal Clarity at Every Step
When both spouses agree on the major issues — property division, custody, child support, and alimony — Maryland allows you to complete a Mutual Consent (uncontested) divorce without a long court battle. At Alexandrino Family & Legacy Law, we guide you through the process with flat‑fee transparency, a modern virtual practice, and the legal authority you need to finalize your divorce smoothly and confidently.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Maryland?
Maryland calls uncontested divorce ‘Absolute Divorce by Mutual Consent.’ To qualify, spouses must:
Agree on all issues (property, custody, support, alimony)
Sign a written Marital Settlement Agreement
Submit required financial disclosures
File the proper forms with the circuit court
Attend a brief hearing (in some counties this may be waived)
This process is typically faster, less expensive, and far less stressful than contested litigation.
