Maryland is an equitable distribution state. This means the court divides marital property — including overseas property — fairly but not necessarily equally. Md. Code, Family Law Art. § 7-103 governs grounds for divorce, while § 8-205 addresses alimony. For international assets, the court must determine jurisdiction over foreign property and apply Maryland’s equitable distribution framework. An International Assets Divorce Lawyer Baltimore understands these cross-border issues.
For international asset division, the key statute is Md. Code, Family Law Art. § 8-205 (alimony) and § 7-103 (grounds for divorce). The court considers foreign property as marital property if acquired during the marriage, regardless of location.
