How do I prove insanity?

August 10, 2011 1 Comment

A party may obtain an absolute divorce against the other if the other is declared insane.

A divorce based on the ground of insanity is possible if:  (1) the court finds that the spouse
has been confined in a mental institution, hospital, or other similar institution for at
least three years before the filing of the complaint for divorce, (2) the court
determines from the testimony of at least two physicians who are competent in
psychiatry that the insanity is incurable and that there is no hope of recovery,
and (3) one of the parties has resided in Maryland for at least two years before
the filing of the complaint for divorce.

Divorces based on this ground are extremely rare.
