| Husband asked for a divorce.... So last night my husband asked me for a divorce. I am okay with it, I think. I need advice from somebody who has been there on what I need to do know. I have no idea..never been in this situation before |

| First thing you need to do is get a lawyer. Don't make any crazy decisions while you aren't thinking straight. Don't sign anything. Don't agree to anything. Don't fight about anything. If you two are not able to TALK about things calmly, then don't. Fighting while in this frame of mind might make you each say or do things that will cause things to become even worse than they already are. Are kids involved? |

| MD is a 50/50 state. Anything aquired after the marriage is split 50/50 including retirements and stock holdings.

| If it's amicable, you don't even have to involve a lawyer. I think you can just go to the courthouse and fill out some forms for the separation. Sit down with the STBX and hammer out the details - who gets what, etc. Then after your year is up, file for divorce the same way.

| Why not try marriage counseling first? If you are both amicable and in agreement, why not file your own seperation agreement and no contest divorce? It'll cost you around $200 that way.
