How to Divorce in Maryland Jurisdiction Issues
Maryland has a residency requirement that must be met before any party can file a complaint for a limited and or an absolute divorce in Maryland. If the grounds for divorce occurred outside the state of Maryland then at least one of the parties must have resided in Maryland for at least one year prior to filing the complaint for absolute divorce. You can refer to family law article section 7 – 101 (A) for information on this jurisdictional issue. The word residence as used in this family law article is equated with the word domicile.

I’m a Henderson family law attorney in Nevada. Henderson is very nice city to live while getting your divorce. You only need to live here for six weeks with the intent to remain indefinitely in order to have jurisdiction over your divorce. If you have children in another state, however, custody will not be a part of the divorce unless the children have lived in Nevada for at least the last six months. Nevada divorce laws allow for six weeks residency for personal jurisdiction and six months residency of the child for subject matter jurisdiction over Las Vegas child custody . If any of your clients require a Las Vegas child custody law firm, my firm is ready.
