The Child Support  Enforcement Administration (CSEA)   provides this  calculator for informational  purposes only  and assumes  no  responsibility  for  the  accuracy of  the child  support  amount determined  by use  of the  calculator. The calculator is  based on the Maryland Child Support Guidelines  and is intended to provide an estimate of the amount of child support that the court may approve under those Guidelines. Many factors affect the amount of child support. This calculator  does  not reflect  deviations and  adjustments a court may allow. The amount  you calculate  may  be much higher or much lower than the amount CSEA may calculate or a court may approve. You may consult with an attorney if you have any questions regarding your legal rights and obligations.
