Maryland child custody

 Home   Back

 Maryland law lists no specific guidelines or factors the court uses to determine child custody. If there has been abuse or child neglect, the court might deny custody or visitation to the parent who committed the offense.

Unless otherwise ordered by a court, the law prohibits access to medical, dental, and educational records concerning the child from being denied to a parent because the parent does not have physical custody of the child. (9-104)
