Planta & Satin Attorneys at Law in Rockville, MD

The very concept of divorce is seemingly always negative, but this process does not have to be the long, stressful experience that you might be envisioning or that you have seen friends or family members go through. If you and your spouse are able to interact civilly with one another, and you both want to make a smooth transition out of your marriage, the state of Maryland has provisions that allow you to file for an uncontested (also called no-fault) divorce.

The divorce attorneys at Planta and Satin in Rockville assist couples who are seeking a no fault divorce in Montgomery County, MA or metro Washington DC. When you call 301-762-1000, you can arrange to speak with a lawyer who is well versed in Maryland divorce law, who can protect your rights and help you get through this challenging process.

What is an Uncontested or No Fault Divorce?

When filing for absolute divorce in Maryland, you will need to provide grounds for your divorce. Grounds for absolute divorce can include

  • Adultery
  • Desertion
  • Cruelty
  • Or, several other issues between your spouse and you.

If you file for divorce on the grounds that your spouse is guilty of adultery or another form of misconduct, you are likely going to face going to trial to allow them to provide their defense.

Many divorces are not this messy. A no-fault divorce can occur when neither spouse is at fault for the ending of the marriage. The grounds for a no-fault divorce in Maryland include a continuous 12-month separation, with no sexual relations during this time.

How Planta & Satin Can Assist You with Your Uncontested Divorce

Filing for an uncontested divorce in Maryland or Washington DC can be a faster and more affordable way to legally end your marriage, if you are well prepared. With an uncontested divorce, the two spouses are in agreement regarding matters such as:

If there are any disputes regarding these terms, the divorce goes from uncontested to contested, and the spouses will need the courts to rule on these matters, which will extend the divorce process.

When couples are in agreement regarding these matters, they might be tempted to file the necessary no fault divorce paperwork with the Maryland courts on their own, but a safer option is to enlist the services of Planta & Satin.

To file for an uncontested divorce in Maryland, you must find, complete, and file the appropriate paperwork. While the courts will provide you with instructions, they cannot give you any legal advice during this process, and your paperwork must be completed precisely. One missing or inaccurate piece of information can delay your divorce and increase your costs.

The divorce lawyers at Planta & Satin can provide you with the guidance and assistance you need to complete this process with less hassle, while avoiding mistakes. Thanks to years of experience, these attorneys can help you understand the requirements of the courts.
