If you have a temporary custody order, the judge can order the other parent to pay a reasonable amount of temporary financial support to both you and your child. You may also get financial support as part of the custody hearing if the judge orders child support. Maryland has child support guidelines in effect. They provide a formula for calculating child support based on a proportion of each parent’s gross income, unless the judge is given a good reason to vary from the guidelines.
