Proof Of Separation in a Maryland Divorce

Maryland requires the parties live separate and apart for one year before they are eligible to file a complaint for absolute divorce in all but two grounds for divorce. The exceptions being adultery and excessively vicious conduct. Proof of this separation typically is some fact witness who says I know he/she moved on such a day because (fill in the blanks), ie: I helped them move, they moved in with me, etc.. That same witness can also be used to offer the testimony that the separation has remained continuous and uninterrupted for the entire 12 months. other evidence is also available for example post office mail changes, driver license changes, leases, and any other evidence on point to show the date you and your spouse separated.
