Solved

To e-file your uncontested divorce in Maryland, you’ll need the signed and notarized settlement agreement, the Complaint for Absolute Divorce, Civil Domestic Information Report, and the Joint Request to Waive Hearing (if applicable). (MD Family Law Code § 7-103)

Once notarized, scan all documents into PDF format and upload them through Maryland’s MDEC portal using your case number. Pay the filing fee online. After submission, monitor your account for acceptance or any deficiency notices.

Welcome and thank you for your questions. I’m @GurneyP, and I'm ready to draw on my years of experience as an attorney and former prosecutor to offer some guidance. Please keep in mind: This chat does not create an attorney-client relationship, but I am here with you and writing up a very thorough answer that should only take 3–5 minutes.

Is your divorce decree already signed by the judge and finalized, or are you trying to submit it for approval?

I have the contract written up and am about to notarize it in the next couple of days. I need to know which other forms and how to e-file for quicker processing. Maryland is the state.

I see, ok. Are you representing yourself in this divorce (pro se), or do you have an attorney assisting you?

Pro se. It is completely non-contested and a mutual agreement, and both parties are in good spirits.
