Summary

The legislation changes the definition of “adjusted actual income” in Maryland’s child‑support guidelines. It creates a deduction for each child who spends at least 92 nights a year (more than 25% of overnights) in a parent’s home and is not already covered by a support order, and it sets a specific adjustment for shared‑custody situations. The goal is to make support calculations more reflective of actual parenting time and financial responsibility.
