Columbia, Maryland Separation Agreement Attorneys

Assistance for Separating Couples in Baltimore, Howard, Montgomery, and Surrounding Counties

THE LAW

Separation Agreements are used to memorialize the parties’ intent in severing their relationship and to resolve issues arising out of their marriage privately instead of through a contested divorce case.

In Maryland there is no requirement for a legal separation agreement to obtain a divorce, unless the parties are seeking to obtain a mutual consent divorce.

The date one spouse leaves the marital home is the couple’s separation date.
In most cases, Maryland law requires that a married couple live in separate residences and refrain from sexual relations during the separation period.

·         For a relatively low cost when you and your spouse have already reached an agreement on the terms, a FLAG attorney can provide you with feedback and assistance in memorializing your agreement that will have an impact on your life for years into the future.
