Establecimiento de órdenes de manutención infantil en Maryland

Explicación Simple

En Maryland, a veces un padre no tiene que pagar manutención si vive con su hijo y lo apoya. También puede no tener que pagar si no tiene trabajo o si está en la cárcel.

Es como cuando un jugador de fútbol no puede jugar porque está lesionado; no se le puede pedir que haga algo que no puede hacer.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan y María tienen un hijo, pero Juan está en la cárcel y no puede trabajar. Como vive con su hijo y no tiene dinero, el tribunal puede decidir que no necesita pagar manutención.
