Maryland Child Support Enforcement Program
For Employers
Priority for Withholding Child Support Obligations from an Employee's Pay
Family Law Article, §12-102.1(c), Annotated Code of Maryland mandates that "Subject to federal law, a medical support notice has priority over any other lien or legal process, except for current support and support arrears withheld under an earnings withholding order or notice". For child support obligations, current support and support arrears have priority over health insurance premiums. The cost of these obligations must be below the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act limits.
