There’s NOTHING to gain. We’ve been married a year. Bought the house 6 months ago. There’s no equity in the home. I have no interest in his retirement account considering he just started contributing to a 401k in his 30’s. I’m 29 and have plenty of time left to start over and I have no interest in holding him financially hostage EVEN IF there was something to gain. Both our vehicles were bought and financed prior to marriage. We don’t have any joint assets aside from the house which again has no equity in it.

You need an attorney. When you have an asset together, you can't just stomp your feet and say, I don't wanna do this anymore. There may not be equity in the home but it doesn't mean you don't have to deal with it!

Doesn’t a quit claim deed relinquish any of my right to the home?

In md you need to move out for 1 year and petition the court for a divorce

No you owe the debt on the home.

Even if my name is not on the mortgage?

Why do you assume her name is on the mortgage? My ex's name wasn't.

Because it’s unlikely she got deeded an interest in the home unless it was part of a mortgage closing. Who would just deed an ownership interest in a home without her hoof her name on the loan?

If she is not named on a mortgage fine.

Op here.

But you own 50% marital debt and liabilities.

What debt and liabilities?

We did not enter into any debt during the marriage, except for the house.

I'd talk to the soon-to-be ex and discuss a way of ending without getting an attorney involved. Sounds like this is what you want. Any time an attorney is involved, they are bottom feeders who create problems so they can say they "solved" them. You two get stuck with bills, of course.
