Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

My husband and I have been separated (no contact) for over 3 1/2 years. I have decided to file for a divorce since we are amicable and and there is no drama between us. We have no plans to fight over anything. That being said, I own a home (bought while we were married), the loan and deed are in my name and I have a 401K with my job (15 1/2 yrs) and we have no children together. We do not have credit cards or bank accounts together, none that I can remember at least. I would like to know what do I need to do to make sure that he does not and cannot touch either of these things. Are there specific forms I need to file with the courts being there is property and retirement money involved? Is there specific language I need to use for tax and legal purposes? Thank you in advance for your help.

You need to have a well drafted separation agreement prepared by an experienced family law attorney in which each party waives any interest in property titled in the other's name. Get this signed before starting the divorce action. It will save you a lot of time and money.
