I know someone who got a divorce in maryland. He filed the day his wife left him. She left the children with him. He was able to get an interim custody determination pretty quickly when he first filed. Then a year later the divorce was finalized with him having 100% custody and her only visitation.



Thank you! this was a reply i was sort of hoping to see. I wasnt sure if i could file for an absolute divorce yet or not. I spoke to a lawyer and he told me i could file for a limited divorce but not an absolute divorce. It's almost a year though, by the time it gets to court, it'll pretty much be a year, lol. Took me about 6-8 months in court for custody of my oldest with his dad and there wasn't much of a fight with him only over certain things. So im assuming it'll take just as long.
