Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
I have my three youngest kids living with me at my parents house, my 13 and 16 year old are living with my soon to be ex mother in law. My 16 year moved in with her and she has custody with no child support due to her behavior issues since four years ago, my 13 year old was living with her mother and then stayed with her grandma while her and her mom were moving the her grandmother filed for custody of her as well. I cannot have her live with me as my parents will not allow it due to lack of space, can the mother in law get child support from me since I am already taking care of my youngest three

If the mother-in-law is the primary care-giver of one of your children, then yes, she likely can get child support from you (and the father). The court will consider the fact that you are the primary care-giver for your youngest 3 children when they factor the amount you owe.

You should seek child support for all children from your ex. If he liable for child support, he will have to part of the support to his mother. You should retain an attorney to untangle this child support issue. If you cannot afford an attorney, you should read the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service Site. www.mvlslaw.org. You may qualify for a free lawyer.
