Maryland Child Support Law Overview
Child Support law varies greatly from state to state.
The information on this web site concerns Maryland law only.
*The information regarding Maryland Child Support Law on this page is general, could change at any time without Notice,
and is not meant to replace legal advice.
Maryland Child Support covers the child until they turn 18 years old, or, until they turn 19 years old if they are still enrolled in high school.
Maryland Child Support laws apply to Mothers as well as to Fathers.
Child Support in Maryland is based on a formula,
which is based on the following:
how many over-nights the child(ren) involved in the instant case spend with each parent;
the average GROSS monthly income of each parent, (or possibly how much either of
them could make if either one is "voluntarily under-employing" or "voluntarily impoverishing" themself);
work-related child care expenses; health insurance expenses; extraordinary medical or other expenses; the number of other children, not involved in the instant case, that live with each parent 92 overnights or more; possibly private school education for the child and transportation costs;
and some other factors which may be argued.
"Voluntary under-employment" and "attribution of income" are issues that are too complex
to cover here. If you these issues may be involved in your case, you should discuss this with an attorney who has had
experience with these issues in Maryland Family Law courts as soon as possible.
In Maryland, "income" for determining child support is any and all income "from any source derived." --So if you and/or the Other Party are getting
income from a source in addition to your paychecks, the Judge will include that in your "income" to be used
for determining child support.
Child support in Maryland is calculated based on these specific things and not based on any of the possible labels involving
"Legal custody."
In Maryland, child support usually accrues from the date of filing, so if no child support is ordered
before the Trial,
the judge can order "back-pay" child support going back to the date of filing something that requested Child Support.
Child Support is separate from "Alimony" and/or "Monetary Award,"
and Maryland courts do not use a specific formula to determine Custody, Alimony, or Monetary Award like they use for Child Support.
Maryland Family Law decisions regarding Custody and Alimony are different than the issue of Child Support. Alimony and Custody in Maryland Law are based on arguments of "equity," and/or "best
interest of the child," rather than on simple formulas or rules.
The complex interaction of the separate laws regarding Custody, Child Support, Alimony, and Monetary Award
is one of the reasons why experienced Family Law attorneys usually avoid giving quick answers without discussion, analysis,
or clarification.
Another reason experienced attorneys usually refrain from giving quick answers is because
they know that Maryland Law requires that each Family Law case must be judged independently from all others and each
judgment must be based on the unique set of circumstances that are involved in each case.
Accordingly, in order to
give you the best advice possible (or even adequate advice) regarding your case, an
attorney would need to find out all of the unique facts and circumstances involved in your case.
What being "Above the Guidelines" means in Maryland Child Support Law:
In Maryland Child Support Law, if the combined income of the mother and the father together is greater than $30,000
a month, then this is called being "Above The Guidelines." This means the Judge can be creative in
setting the amount of child support. Some Judges choose to use software that simply continues with the
same formula at the higher numbers, but they are not obligated to do that. --They have the discretion to
set the amount a different way, so it is important to understand that the Judge could set it for more or less than
the software may indicate if the case is "Above The Guidelines."
If the parties' combined income is $30,000 or more, then each party must fill out the Long Financial Statement Form, which can be found Here.
This Long form must also be filled out if Alimony has been requested in a Divorce case.
If the parties' combined income is less than $30,000, and Alimony has not been requested within a Divorce case, then the parties will be required to file a Short Financial Statement, which can be found
Here.
Maryland judges can deviate from the Maryland Child Support Guidelines if they
choose to do so. Judges have much discretion in Maryland Family Law courts.
The Maryland Family Law Court system is complex and Maryland Family Law
requires judges to consider many variables and laws before making a decision in each Family Law case.
Individual laws cannot be fully comprehended without understanding how they interact with
each other and within the elaborate Maryland Family Law Court system, and
trying to interpret individual laws without understanding this
could decrease your chance of achieving an outcome that is favorable to you in your case. It is therefore in your best interest
to have a full consultation with an experienced Family Law attorney regarding your particular case or situation
before making any agreements or filing anything with a Family Law Court.

Maryland Child Custody Law Summary
Child Custody Law and Procedure varies greatly from state to state.
This information concerns Maryland Custody Law only.
The information on this page is General information only about Maryland Child Custody Law and
is not
meant to replace Legal Advice.
Maryland Custody Law does not allow family law judges to presume the Mother should get Custody instead of the Father,
and the child support laws apply to Mothers as well as to Fathers.
Today's Maryland Family Law is very different than many people may think.
Family Law varies from state to state. Maryland Custody Law does not start out with a legal presumption favoring women or men,
or for Joint or sole Custody.
Terms used in Maryland Custody Law:
There are two kinds of child custody in Maryland:
LEGAL custody and PHYSICAL custody.
Each has different rights associated with it.
LEGAL custody gives a parent the right to make broad, long-term decisions affecting the child.
PHYSICAL custody is what affects where the child lives, day-to-day decision-making, and child support.
Child support in Maryland is calculated by using the average monthly income of each of the parents,
the average number of overnights the child spends with each parent, health insurance costs, childcare costs,
and a few other factors.
Here are some examples:
Joint PHYSICAL Custody with Equal Access/Equal Authority
No Child Support if both parents earn the same amount
and both parents have equal rights as parents in regard to spending time with the child and making decisions about the child
Joint LEGAL Custody
Gives both parents authority to make long-term decisions regarding the child
Child Support is not affected by LEGAL Custody
and LEGAL Custody does not affect the visitation schedule with the child
*These are just some of many possible custody arrangements
See the attorney for details and find out the implications involved before agreeing to anything
Access to the child and child support are determined by PHYSICAL Custody
Joint LEGAL custody does not include Joint PHYSICAL custody unless specified
PHYSICAL Custody is sometimes called "Residential Custody," "Primary Residential Custody," "Primary Care," or sometimes it is not
labeled at all and a schedule regarding overnights with the child is simply set (or agreed to) and it is then
that schedule (rather than a label or term) that determines child support and the right to make
the short-term, day-to-day decisions that go with "physical custody."
Main Factors Maryland courts consider when determining Custody
Although there are several factors the Maryland courts consider when awarding Custody in Maryland, there is no specific
weight or priority assigned to these factors and there is no specific formula like there is for awarding Child Support.
The facts and circumstances of each particular case will be
determinative.
The relevant case law in Maryland holds that "there is no such thing as a simple custody case," that "custody
cases are like fingerprints because no two are exactly the same," and "that there is no
litmus test that provides a quick and easy answer to custody matters."
When deciding Custody cases, Maryland Judges consider the main Factors listed below.
These main Factors are listed as a starting point for people wanting to know very basic things
about Maryland Custody Law.
Main Factors
• Sincerity of each of the parent's request
• Capacity and willingness of the parents to Communicate and to reach shared decisions affecting the
child's welfare
• Flexibility of each of the parents
• Prior voluntary abandonment or surrender of custody of the child
• Length of the separation of the parents
• Relationship established between the child and each parent
• Desire of the natural parents and any Agreements between them
• Fitness of the parents
• Character and reputation of the parents
• Potential for maintaining Natural Family Relations
• Extended Family
• Preference of the child, if the child is of sufficient age and capacity to form a rational judgment
• Material opportunities affecting the future life of the child
• Age, health, sex, and number of children
• Residences of the parents and the opportunity for visitation
• Willingness of each of the parents to share custody
• Potential disruption of child's social and school life
• Geographic proximity of parental homes
• Demands and Flexibility of parental employment
• Age and number of children
• Financial status of parents
• Impact on State or Federal Assistance
• Benefit to parents
*Maryland Family Court Judges consider many variables when considering each of these main Factors.
Knowing this list of these main Factors does not necessarily include an understanding of the dynamics
that often occur in Maryland Family Law courts or of the many other variables Maryland Family Court
Judges often consider as Sub-Factors to many of these main Factors.
As of October 1, 2025, judges deciding Maryland Custody cases may also consider these additional factors, per Md. Family Law Code Ann. § 9-201:
• The stability and foreseeable health and welfare of the child
• The importance of frequent, regular, and continuing contact with parents who can act in the child’s best interest
• Whether and how parents plan to share the rights and responsibilities of raising the child
• The child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, other relatives, and significant individuals
• The child’s physical and emotional security, and protection from conflict and violence
• The child’s developmental needs, including safety, emotional security, self-image, and intellectual growth
• The daily needs of the child, including education, health, socialization, culture, and religion
• How to place the child’s needs above the parents’ needs and protect the child from the negative effects of parental conflict
• The child’s age and, if appropriate, their preference
• The impact of any military deployment on parenting and the parent-child relationship
• Prior court orders or agreements
• Each parent’s role and involvement, and how it may have changed
• The location of each parent’s home, and how it affects coordination of parenting time, school, and activities
• The parents’ relationship with one another, including their ability to communicate and co-parent effectively without disrupting the child’s life
• Any other factor relevant to the child’s best interest
As of October 1, 2025, Md. Family Law Code Ann. § 9-202: regarding Modifying Custody Orders shall state:
(A) The Court may modify, in accordance with the provisions of this subtitle, a child custody or visitation Order if the Court determines that there has been a material change in circumstances since the issuance of the order that relates to the needs of the child or the ability of the parents to meet those needs and that modifying the Order is in the best interest of the Child.
(B) A parent's proposal to relocate the residence of the parent or the child in a way that would cause physical custody to be impractable constitutes a material change in circumstances.

Family Law varies greatly from State to State and the

Law only.
Maryland Family Law
is drawn from the sources of the Maryland Code, Maryland Court
Rules, and Maryland Case Law. Individual Maryland
laws regarding Custody, Visitation, Child Support, Alimony,
and Divorce cannot be fully comprehended without understanding
how they interact with each other and within the elaborate
Maryland Family Law Court system, and trying to interpret
individual laws without understanding this could decrease the
chance of achieving an outcome favorable to you in your case.
Family Law varies from State to State.
There is NO presumption of JOINT Custody in Maryland.
Some States do have a rebuttable presumption of Joint
Custody -- Maryland is NOT one of those States.
While there are specific
Main Factors the Maryland Courts must consider when
deciding Custody cases, these various factors are not assigned
any particular weight or priority, and there are no specific
formulas for determining the schedule the child will have with
the parents. The status of Custody and the
particular visitation schedule of the child is decided based
on what is "in the best interest of the child," which is up
for argument based on the individual circumstances involved in
each case.
Maryland Family Law Court procedure is continually
evolving to manage the increasing volume of Family Law cases.
The procedures involved in the Maryland Family Law
Court system are very different from Maryland general Civil
Courts, Maryland Criminal Courts, and the Federal Courts.
It is in your best interest to consult an Attorney
with much experience in the Maryland Family Law Courts to get
specific legal advice regarding your individual case or
situation before making any agreements or filing anything
regarding a Maryland Divorce, Custody, or Domestic
Violence/Abuse case.
The actions you take and/or
the Agreements you make, if any, during the initial stages of
your Maryland Custody case and in the Maryland Family Court
early procedures before Trial, could have a significant
impact on your ability to acheive a favorable outcome in your
Maryland Family Law case.

Fathers many times, in Family Courts around the state of Maryland. Our attorneys have also obtained court

Although there are several Factors the court must consider when awarding alimony in Maryland, there is no specific
formula like there is for calculating Child Support. The facts and circumstances of each particular case will be
determinative. The formula for calculating Child Support in Maryland is different than the decision making process
regarding Alimony.
As the relevant case law in Maryland states "Generally speaking, alimony awards, though authorized by statute,
are founded upon notions of equity; equity requires sensitivity to the merits of each individual case without the
imposition of bright-line tests . . . The statute by design confers
wide latitute upon trial courts assessing requests for indefinite alimony . . ." Tracey v. Tracey, 328 Md. 380.
Maryland case law states that rehabilitative alimony is favored over indefinite alimony (Gallahger v. Gallagher, 118 Md. App. 567),
however, there is no guarantee whatever
in regard to whether the court will award rehabilitative or indefinite alimony, or whether it will award
alimony at all.
Maryland does not have Alimony Guidelines the way it has Child Support Guidelines. Although there is some software for Alimony Guidelins, this is not Maryland Law.
When considering an alimony award in Maryland, the court must consider all the factors necessary for a fair and equitable award,
including, but not limited to the following (MD CODE ANN., FAM. LAW 11-106(b):
(1) the ability of the party seeking alimony to be wholly or partly self-supporting;
(2) the time necessary for the party seeking alimony to gain sufficient education or training to enable that party to find suitable employment;
(3) the standard of living that the parties established during their marriage;
(4) the duration of the marriage;
(5) the contributions, monetary and nonmonetary, of each party to the well-being of the family;
(6) the circumstances that contributed to the estrangement of the parties;
(7) the age of each party;
(8) the physical and mental condition of each party;
(9) the ability of the party from whom alimony is sought to meet that party's needs while meeting the needs of the party seeking alimony;
(10) any agreement between the parties; and
(11) the financial needs and financial resources of each party, including:
(i) all income and assets, including property that does not produce income;
(ii) any monetary award or use and possession award
(iii) the nature and amount of the financial obligations of each party; and
(iv) the right of each party to receive retirement benefits;
(12) whether the award could cause a spouse who is a resident of a related institution as defined in the statue
relating to health care facilities ( 19-301 of the Health-General Article) and from whom alimony is sought to become
eligible for medical assistance earlier than would otherwise occur.
* "The circumstances that contributed to the estrangement of the parties" can include, but is not limited to,
things like "excessively controlling behavior;" "cold behavior;" "hostile behavior;" "refusing to have sex with the Other Party;"
"behaving in a disrespectful
manner toward the Other Party;" "physical abuse;" "threats;" and/or "verbal abuse."
Possible Extension or Modification Of Alimony
(a) Extension of Period - Subject to FL 8-103 (See below), the Court may extend the
period for which Alimony is awarded, if:
(1) circumstances arise during the period that would lead to a harsh and
inequitable result without an extension; and
(2) the recipient petitions for an extension during the period.
(b) Modification of Amount - Subject to FL 8-103 (See below), and on the petition of
either party, the Court may
Modify the amount of Alimony awarded as circumstances and justice require.
8-103. Modification of Deed, Agreement, or Settlement
(a) Provision Concerning Children - The Court may modify any provision of a deed, agreement, or
settlement with respect to the care, custody, education, or support of any minor child of the spouses,
if the modification would be in the best interests of the child.
(b) Exception for Provision Concerning Support of Spouse - The Court may Modify any provision of a
deed, agreement, or settlement with respect to spousal support executed on or after
January 1, 1976, regardless of how the provision is stated, unless there is a provision that specifically
states that the provisions with respect to spousal support are not subject to any Court Modification.
(c) Certain Exceptions for Provision Concerning Alimony or Support of Spouse - The Court may Modify
any provision of a deed, agreement, or settlement with respect to Alimony or spousal support
executed on or after April 13, 1976, regardless of how the provision is stated, unless there is:
(1) an express waiver of Alimony or spousal support; or
(2) a provision that specifically states that the provisions with
respect to Alimony or spousal support are not subject to any Court Modification.
Termination of Alimony
Unless the parties agree otherwise, Alimony terminates:
(1) on the death of either party;
(2) on the marriage of the recipient; or
(3) if the Court finds that termination is necessary to avoid a harsh
and inequitable result.
