This online application program will assist you in completing a Child Support Worksheet. This worksheet estimates the child support obligation that a court may order a parent to pay toward support of the child(ren) on a monthly basis. Under Maryland law, there is a rebuttable presumption that the amount of child support, which would result from the use of these guidelines, is the correct amount of support to be awarded; however, a court may choose to deviate from the guidelines under certain circumstances.

This Child Support Worksheet is here to calculate an estimate of the amount of child support that might possibly be awarded; however, you may want to discuss this matter with your local child support office or your own attorney to obtain further assistance and to review the calculation.

It will prompt you with several questions and your responses will be used to generate the appropriate Child Support Worksheet. Please use the "TAB" key to move to the next field and use "SHIFT+TAB" to move to the previous field.
