Maryland Child Custody Lawyer

In applying child support guidelines to split custody cases, basic support obligation should first be determined separately for number of children in custody of each parent, amount of child support each parent owes the other is next calculated by multiplying each parent’s proportionate share of combined adjusted actual income, represented as a percentage, by amount of basic support obligation for children in other parent’s custody, and finally, to avoid having parents exchange checks, parent owing greater amount of support will pay other parent the difference between the two amounts. Tannehill v. Tannehill 88 Md.App. 4, 591 A.2d 888 Md.App.,(1991).

Trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that former husband was substantially justified in defending former wife’s action to modify child support, even if former husband should have known that application of the child support guidelines would require him to pay more in child support that he had been paying before former wife’s petition; parties legitimately disputed level of former husband’s income, which was material to child support determination. Tanis v. Crocker, 678 A.2d 88  Md.Spec.App.,(1996).
