Re: child custody
If the children have been living in Maryland for at least 6 months, then Maryland could take jurisdiction based on their new home state. However, if there is pending litigation in another state, a Maryland court may decline jurisdiction. If the out-of-state custody order is temporary, I would assume that a final hearing is yet to come. You may also have an issue with improper service if you never received a summons from the court.
