In Maryland Divorce case, my soon to be ex wife's attorny is filing a motion to take testimony, and we have a settlement agreement executed. What is a "motion to take testimony"? What should I expect to have to do?

Even though your case is uncontested, the plaintiff (your wife) must present evidence proving the elements of the divorce. You are not required to attend, but are entitled to do so. Your settlement agreement will become part of the divorce and if violated will subject the violating party to a potential contempt of court citation.
