A “no fault” divorce is where neither
spouse is considered responsible for the breakup of the marriage.
Technically, Maryland does not have a no fault divorce. The closest
thing to a no fault divorce in Maryland is when spouses are divorced on
grounds of a two-year separation.
Under this ground, if you and your spouse have lived separate and apart
in separate residences without interruption and without sexual relations
for two years, you can obtain an absolute divorce.
It is not necessary to show that the separation was voluntary. Nor is it
necessary to show that either spouse deserted the other or was otherwise
at “fault” for the dissolution of the marriage.
