Child Support Laws
In Maryland, the child support arrangements—how much the non-custodial parent will pay to the custodial parent—are generally determined by the child support guidelines. However, the final monthly amount, whether determined by the parties or by the judge, can be substantially more or less than the guidelines dictate. This is based on several factors that include:
- Marital debts
- Mortgages
- College education expenses
- The right to occupy the family home
- And other financial terms.
Also a factor is the presence in either parent’s household of children from other relationships that the parent has a duty to support. Additionally, the family home, car, and items in the home may be awarded to the parent who has custody of a child so that the child can continue to live in the environment and community that they are familiar with.
