Key Issues in Child Custody & Support
Custody and support cases involve several important decisions that affect your family's future. Maryland courts apply the "best interests of the child" standard when determining custody, considering factors such as each parent's ability to meet the child's needs, the stability of each home, and the child's existing routines and relationships. Child support is calculated using Maryland's Income Shares model, which considers both parents' incomes, the custody schedule, and expenses such as healthcare and childcare.
