Maryland Child Support Guidelines Under Family Law Art. § 12-202
Maryland child support is governed by the Maryland Child Support Guidelines, codified in Md. Code, Family Law Art. § 12-202. The guidelines use an income shares model, where both parents’ combined adjusted income determines the basic child support obligation. The formula considers the number of children, health insurance premiums, childcare costs, and parenting time. If one parent has more than 128 overnights per year, the court may adjust the support amount. A child support calculation lawyer Rockville can help you accurately compute your obligation under these guidelines.
