He doesn't have to reside there at all. Assuming you're talking about charging him with the crime of adultery. That said I recall the penalty for adultery in Maryland is about $10.

Why do you want to file for adultery? If your plan is to get divorced, and both parties consent, you may be better off filing for a consent divorce. However, if you want to file based on adultery, there is no time frame that you must wait. For a free consultation you can call (717) 798-8LAW.
