Maryland does not have common law marriage, so a live-in relationship with someone does not change into a marriage by the passage of time. (Note that some other states do recognize common law marriage and if you lived in one of them you may want to consult a lawyer to discuss the specifics of your situation).
An attorney would need to review the language of your court order to answer your other question. You may wish to engage a family law attorney to review your order.
