Alimony Child Support in Maryland

In Maryland, child support and alimony are governed by separate statutes with distinct rules. Child support under Md. Code, Fam. Law § 12-204 uses a formula based on the combined adjusted actual income of both parents, with a verified ceiling of $30,000 for the basic obligation schedule. The statute sets out specific factors and adjustments that may apply. Alimony under § 11-106 is determined by a court weighing multiple statutory factors, with no set formula or fixed amount. Neither award has a predetermined duration; alimony terms depend on the circumstances. The official source provides the exact details.
