Anyway, Basically what your saying is : One of us has to leave, and be gone for a year, PRIOR to filing any papers?

I just went through this myself. All we did was write up a seperation aggrement and then had it notarized. In Maryland, you have to be seprated for one year before you can get divorced. After our year was up, we went to the courthouse together (like bob said, that saves alot of time) filed the paperwork and waited for our court date. It took about 4 months, we went to court, and our divorce was final. You will need a witness to testify that you two haven't spent the night under the same roof for a year and no sexual relations with each other. My divorce cost us $105. If you have any questions, let me know.

The separation agreement is where I'm going to have problems. I know he isnt going to want (without the ' ) to leave. If I leave, is that going to hurt me when it comes to the court process?

We are talking about the final divorce.. in your case if he doesn't want it, then the 2 years applies.

If you want a seperation you can file today..

No. Clock starts ticking when you separate. BUT, you need proof (documents, eyewitness that can testify for you, etc..) to document when it happened.

Basically, I wan't the courts to make him vacate the house, while we figure things out. I'm not sure if that sounds silly, but its the best I can explain it.

IMHO, you are the one that wants out... you should vacate. Doesn't that sound like the fair thing to do...:shrug:

Here it goes:

I'm currently married. Have been for 12 yrs this coming Nov.
My marriage is crap. Has been for a while.

Whats the process for separation? Of course, I would like to stay in the house with the children. I live in Calvert county.

Is it as simple as filing papers at the Calvert County courthouse? What do i file?

Do you own your home?

If so, I believe that if you have the children as the custodial parent, you can stay in the house for 3 years, then the sale or buyout must take place.

It may. He could claim you abandoned him but only a lawyer can answer that accurately.

Wonderful. I've looked online but haven't been able to find info on HOW to file for separation. I only see info on how to file for divorce AFTER being separated. I assume the courts would have these forms. Guess I will see tomorrow.

Thanks so much for all the info!

Apparently no one here would dare suggest such an idea so I simply must do so myself.

Perhaps you might try seeking out some marriage counseling? or try talking to a Priest or Minister? or just quit arguing with your husband?

And Children need their Dad, and not in a separated housing.

And a divorce will harm the children with no way around that.

And getting another Man will only carry the same old problems to the next Man, and the children will not appreciate some new fake Dad either.

No matter how easy a divorce is - it will destroy your life and that of your entire family, and your entire extended family will be harmed by it too.

Those "friends" trying to "help" you to get a divorce have ulterior motives.

Fair, yes. However, he has a place to go. I do not. Plus, I think it would be best for the kids to reside in the home.
