A Maryland Complaint for Child Support is a legal document filed with the court by one parent seeking to establish or enforce a court order that sets out the amount of financial support owed to their child or children. This document is used by the court to determine the amount of child support to be paid by one parent to another. The Complaint is used to inform the court of the details of the case, including the names of the parties, the amount of child support requested, and any special circumstances that must be taken into account in making the court's decision. There are two primary types of Maryland Complaint for Child Support: an Initial Complaint and a Modification Complaint. An Initial Complaint is filed when one parent is seeking to establish a court order for child support. A Modification Complaint is filed when one parent is seeking to modify an existing court order for child support. Both types of Complaint must include information regarding the parties involved, the amount of child support requested, and any special circumstances that must be taken into account.
