Whether you can file in Maryland or not depends on the grounds for divorce (the different types of fault and no-fault grounds) and how long you've lived in the state. Since you're moving out of the state at some point, it might not be practical to file here, but that depends on exactly when you plan on moving and whether the case is contested or not. Certain divorce cases can sail through the courts in a matter of a few months, but hotly contested cases can drag on seemingly forever. I wish I could give you a more concrete answer but I think the real answer to your question requires digging into the specific facts of your case.
