How divorce mediation often works in Maryland
These are the topics Maryland couples most often work through in mediation.
Property and debts
Maryland divides marital property through equitable distribution, often looking at how and when each asset was acquired. Your mediator can help you sort out what may be marital and what may be separate.
Parenting
Maryland looks at legal custody and physical custody, and parents can agree on a plan that fits their children. Mediation gives you space to build that plan together.
Support
Child support in Maryland generally follows state guidelines, and alimony depends on each family’s circumstances. Your mediator can explain how these may apply to you.
Your written agreement
Many Maryland couples sign a marital settlement agreement that the court can incorporate into the divorce. Your mediator can walk you through what that may involve.
Video sessions make it easier for couples in Calvert County, Annapolis or the D.C. suburbs to mediate without extra travel.
