Maryland allows both no-fault and fault-based divorce. No-fault divorce is available after the spouses voluntarily live separate and apart for one year without interruption or after the spouses, voluntarily or involuntarily, live separate and apart for two years without interruption. Fault-based divorce is available in cases involving adultery; insanity; desertion (if the desertion is deliberate, final, has continued for 12 months without interruption, and there is no reasonable expectation that the spouses can reconcile); cruelty or excessively vicious conduct toward the complaining party with no reasonable expectation of reconciliation; or a spouse’s conviction of a crime if he or she has been sentenced to serve at least three years or an indeterminate sentence in a penal institution and has served at least one year of that sentence.
