Military Divorce in Maryland

The military divorce in Maryland has some distinct difference from the civilian divorce in Maryland. Not that the law is different rather the issues are a bit more predictable in the military divorce. For example, the most common questions and conditions I encounter in the military divorce are jurisdiction, custody, what military benefits are included as income for child support purposes, the military pension, stay on litigation, and the 20/20/20 rule. What makes these issues more common place for the military divorce is the obvious situation where people are transient.

Maryland will exercise jurisdiction in your divorce if you or your spouse have resided in Maryland for one year before filing for the divorce.
