Uncontested Divorce with Children in Maryland
When children are involved, the paperwork grows — a parenting plan, custody terms, and a child-support worksheet. SimpleDivorce prepares all of it alongside your uncontested divorce so your agreement is complete and court-ready. In Maryland, most mutual-consent cases finalize in 2 to 4 months with no mandatory separation period; cases relying on the 6-month separation ground take at least 6 months of living apart before filing, plus court processing time.
