⚖️ How is property divided in a Maryland divorce?
It’s not always a simple 50/50 split.

Maryland follows “equitable distribution,” which means property is divided based on what’s fair — taking into account factors like finances, contributions, and the circumstances of the marriage.

Understanding how this works can make a big difference during the divorce process.

This blog explains how liability is determined, what’s considered marital vs. separate debt, and what that means for your financial future: https://tinyurl.com/a5wdhnzx
