The Maryland Arbitration Agreement for Divorce is a legally binding contract entered into by divorcing parties in the state of Maryland. This agreement provides an alternative dispute resolution method for resolving issues related to the divorce, such as property division, child custody, child support, alimony, and any other matters that require resolution. Arbitration is a process in which an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator, is appointed by the parties involved to hear and decide on the disputed issues. The arbitrator acts as a private judge and is responsible for making a final decision, known as an award, which is enforceable by law. The Maryland Arbitration Agreement for Divorce allows parties to voluntarily opt for arbitration as a means to settle their divorce matters outside the traditional court system. This agreement can be used in both uncontested and contested divorce cases, providing flexibility and control over the resolution process. There are three main types of Maryland Arbitration Agreements for Divorce: 1. Comprehensive Arbitration Agreement: This agreement covers all aspects of the divorce, including property division, custody, support, and any other relevant issues. It is a comprehensive and detailed agreement that provides a complete framework for resolving all divorce-related matters through arbitration. 2. Limited Arbitration Agreement: This agreement focuses on specific issues that the parties want to resolve through arbitration. For example, if the divorcing couple agrees on most aspects of the divorce but cannot reach a decision on child custody, they can opt for a limited arbitration agreement solely for that specific issue. 3. Modified Arbitration Agreement: This agreement allows the parties involved to modify certain aspects of the arbitration process. They may agree on specific rules and procedures for the arbitration, such as the selection process of the arbitrator, the timeline for conducting the arbitration, or any other modifications they see fit. In each type of Maryland Arbitration Agreement for Divorce, the parties will outline the specific issues to be resolved through arbitration, the appointment of the arbitrator, the rules and procedures to be followed during the arbitration process, and the binding nature of the final award. It is important to note that the Maryland Arbitration Agreement for Divorce requires the voluntary consent of both parties. Once signed, the agreement becomes binding and enforceable, providing an efficient, private, and cost-effective method for resolving divorce-related disputes in the state of Maryland.
