Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
In Maryland, is there ever any circumstances which might allow for the modification or appeal of the divorce decree for issues that do not concern the children when more than one month has elapsed since the trial or signing of the order? What conditions would allow for the decree to be modified or appealed? The divorce decree was signed months before the property settlement part of the decree due to dissipation of marital funds, and one particular important decision might have changed if something ruled upon or proven in the property settlement part of the decree was known when the divorce decree was ordered.
1 Answer from Attorneys
After 30 days you lose your right to appeal. However, if the court, in granting the divorce, expressly reserved issues as to marital property, the court retains jurisdiction for 90 days to make those determinations. But if you made a post-divorce agreement, it's enforceable if one of the parties has violated it.
