Child Support in the State of Maryland.

Let’s take a look at some of the nuances of child support in Maryland, specifically in the Baltimore area.  Child support in our state generally focuses on the incomes of the parents rather than expenses accrued by the children.  Simply put…kids with divorced parents are entitled to the same level of financial support.

In our state there are two different forms for calculating child support.  If one parent has primary physical custody of the children while the other parent has less than 128 overnights a year, then the primary physical custody guidelines worksheet is used to calculate child support.  If there is shared physical custody the parties use that particular worksheet.

One thing is certain…no matter what side of the decision you are on you want to get a fair and equitable result.  To help insure that you call Baltimore family and child custody lawyer Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will represent your side with vigor and help you attain a proper outcome.  Call her today for a consultation at (410) 484-1400.

Hey, That’s Your Kid Too!

Sometimes a man will walk away from a relationship with minor children feeling that his obligations are finished.  How wrong is that?  They cannot legally run from their responsibility even if they live in another state.  Know this, child support agencies in different states are required to help each other establish and enforce child support orders.

There are a couple of ways to collect child support when the other parent does not live in Maryland.  You may formally ask a Maryland court to order child support payments even though the other parent doesn't live here.  You also can ask the child support agency where the other parent lives to help establish a child support order.

Help in doing so comes in the form of Baltimore area family lawyer Briana Arnold.  She has dealt with “deadbeat” parents for a long time and she will fight aggressively to make sure that you get the money required to raise your kid(s).  Contact attorney Briana Arnold today to arrange a sit-down at her 1777 Reisterstown office by calling (410) 484-1400.

Don’t Accept Back Child Support as the Norm.

So often, primary custodial parents will not pursue what they and their children are absolutely entitled to.  If you have a good job and you are providing for your minor children, you might find it more convenient to just ignore the elephant in the room.  If it is an ever-mounting child support past due payment, then it’s time to fight back!

Federal and state laws mandate tough enforcement procedures.  Those who are delinquent and owe back child support are often called "deadbeat parents," It is not just a colorful term, but it also is often used in the titles of state laws meant to ensure the timely payment of child support.  If someone is delinquent in paying their fair share they are considered to be “in arrears”.

Attorney Briana Arnold believes that every custodial parent in the state of Maryland is entitled to his or her fair share.  Child support should be taken very seriously.  The well-being of your kids is at stake here!  For a consultation about collecting past-due child support payments make an appointment with Attorney Arnold in her Baltimore office by calling (410) 484-1400.
