Under Maryland law, there are two kinds of “no-fault” divorce. After 1 year of mutual and voluntary separation, with no hope or expectation of reconciliation, either party can obtain an absolute divorce. “Mutual and voluntary” means that both parties agreed to separate, that they did so without any coercion or threat, and that they intended to end their marriage. After 2 years of separation for any reason, either spouse can obtain an absolute divorce. (Even a philandering and abusive spouse who stays away for 2 years is entitled to a divorce.
