Clark & Associates, LLC is to promote and protect the best interests of the firm’s clients to ensure that child support, whether awarded to or paid by the firm’s clients, is calculated correctly and fairly, and that the amount is an accurate allocation of child support based on each parent’s relative income and custodial access to the minor child.

    Understanding the Guidelines for Child Support

    The primary custodial parent is usually the one who receives child support. This is not a guarantee, however, because Maryland courts base support calculations on a number of factors, including:

    • The income of both parents, including such things as salaries or worker’s compensation benefits
    • Any additional child support or alimony paid to a previous spouse or to other children
    • Medical expenses and insurance
    • Day care or child care expenses
    • How many children in the family, including children from previous marriages

    Child Support in Maryland

    The courts are granted the privilege of deviating from the Guidelines in cases where it serves the best interest of the children to do so. A judge may also choose to adjust child support payments when both parents share physical custody of the child equally, in essence negating the concept of a primary custodial parent.
