Maryland Child Support Attorney
Child support is typically awarded to the custodial parent in child custody cases because a child deserves to have the financial support of both the mother and the father. In the state of Maryland, child support is determined by very specific guidelines such as the financial needs of a child, medical needs, and income of both parents and the accustomed standard of living. Once these guidelines are formally addressed then the amount of child support to be paid will be calculated by the family law courts using a specific system.
In order for a parent to make sure the child support amount is fair, they should hire a professional Annapolis child support attorney immediately. An Annapolis child support attorney will make sure that all sources of income are accounted for and that the support to be awarded is accurate. If a parent covers up income or a parent forgets to include a necessary child-related expense, then the amount awarded may be far less than it should be.
Child support is paid on a monthly basis and is to be used for the following financial needs of a child:
- Housing
- Food
- Medical expenses
- Education
- Clothing
- Any other needs of the child as a parent sees fit
