MarylandIncome Shares Model

Maryland uses the Income Shares model. Both parents' actual monthly incomes are combined to find the basic obligation from the guidelines schedule. Each parent pays proportionally. Maryland adds work-related childcare and extraordinary medical expenses. A shared physical custody adjustment applies at 128+ overnights.
