A collaborative divorce can provide many benefits to the spouses, including less expense and less animosity. To make this type of divorce process work its best, you must ensure you have an agreement clearly written and free from any ambiguities. An experienced Maryland divorce lawyer can be instrumental as you negotiate, draft, and execute your divorce agreement.
Ambiguity in an agreement can create substantial problems, such as creating disagreements that send the case back to court.
The divorce case of D.D. and J.D. from Baltimore is a strong example. In 2022, the spouses worked out an agreement dividing all their assets except their marital residence. The spouses placed their asset division terms in a Consent Agreement that stated the wife “shall be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of the marital share portion of Husband’s [Police] Pension, ‘if, as and when’ pension payments are distributed to him.”
