Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: child support

She will need to establish that a material change in circumstances has occurred since the existing order was entered. Examples include a significant increase or decrease in the income of either or both parents, increased costs for daycare, medical expenses, etc.

Re: child support

child support is based on the income of the parties, the medical, educational and child care of the minor children. All of these items are calculated into the Maryland Child Support Guidelines.

If there is an existing order, the Court would have to find that there is a material change in circumstances to modify the amount being paid.

Re: child support

If the action is filed in SC, she must show a significant change in circumstances before the Court will modify the prior Order. You can read much more about the SC Child Support Guidelines at my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com). I wish you the best of luck.
