Is Adultry grounds for divorce and custody of children in Maryland?
Yes, adultery is grounds for divorce but less likely to be a grant of custody. This is because when courts are looking to award custody they look to what is in the best interest of the child. If the adultery situation is one in which there is a questionable living situation then it would become a factor in the award of custody but it is not determinative. You also have to keep in mind that courts do try to keep the children in contact with both parents so although they may have their issues they attempt to create a situation in which parental problems do not project on the children.

Probably not but it could be a factor depending on the circumstances of the adultery. Adultery is grounds for divorce in those states that involve "fault divorces" and can even play a role in spousal support, but child custody is totally different.

If the cheating spouse is living in a morally questionable situation, then that would be a factor but otherwise, it will not be a single grounds for obtaining child custody.
