You can't. If one party wants a divorce, they can and will get it. At most, being obstinate about it simply delays it, but it will be granted after at most 2 years of separation elapse. No person can force their spouse to remain married to them.
One can apply for divorce in Maryland if one or both spouses have lived in Maryland for at least a year. One can visit the Maryland Department of Family Administration website to acquire the necessary forms.
All states do. Maryland laws require at least one party to have resided in the state of Maryland for one (1) year before the divorce forms are filed, if the grounds for divorce occurred outside the state. If the grounds for divorce occurred within the state of Maryland, there are no residency requirements but at least one spouse must be a resident of the state of Maryland.
If you want a divorce, you file for a divorce in the state where you are a resident.
There is no waiting period in the state of Maryland
Yes you can file for a divorce even if you both live together in Maryland, then you must stay separate for one full year.
As long as you meet the residency requirement for Maryland (having lived there from somewhere between 6 months and 1 year) then you are able to file for divorce in either Texas or Maryland.

Yes. To the extent that a Vermont civil union is recognized as a marriage under Maryland state law, if you meet all the requirements for divorce (residency, etc.), the state of Maryland will grant you a divorce from your same-sex partner in a civil union and that divorce will be recognized in Vermont as well.
To obtain samples of Maryland legal documents for divorce, contact the court clerks office. If they can not help, your lawyer should be able to get a copy.
You can divorce anywhere. You have to follow the rules in place where you file for the divorce. This is normally the state/country in which you live.
You can't stop someone from delaying a divorce. A judge or magistrate eventually will and can move a divorce ahead without the other party.
After it is final and you changed everything.
You would file in Maryland. You always file in the state and county that you currently reside in.
