Frequently Asked Questions
What are parenting plans and custody agreements in Maryland, and why are they important?
In Maryland, parenting plans and custody agreements are legal documents detailing how separated or divorcing parents share responsibilities for their children’s upbringing, including decision-making and time-sharing. They ensure both parents’ involvement post-divorce, promote stability, minimize conflicts, and prioritize the child’s best interests under Family Law § 9-101.

Plans must be submitted to the court for approval and incorporation into the divorce decree, reviewed for the child’s best interests (§ 9-101). Enforcement occurs via motions for contempt if violated, with modifications allowed for significant changes like relocation.
