Maryland Child support laws prescribe the application of the “Income Shares Model,” under which the court of law will apportion the gross income of both the parents in proportion to their incomes towards child support.
- Under the guidelines, if the parent is spending less than 35% overnights per year with the child, worksheet A will use; on the other hand, worksheet B will use.
- The adjusted actual income as computed based on the guidelines will apply for determining the quantum of the amount.
- The custody will extend until the child turns eighteen or nineteen in children attending high school.
