Legal Help for Non-Custodial Parents With Child Support Problems in Baltimore City

Through its Baltimore City Child Support Project, the Legal Aid Bureau is attempting to reduce child support problems in Baltimore City. The Project has been funded since June 2000 by a grant from the Abell Foundation, which may be renewed in May of each year.

The Bureau provides free legal assistance to Baltimore City residents with child support problems or to people with child support cases in Baltimore City.

To be eligible for assistance, you must fall within the Legal Aid Bureau’s financial eligibility guidelines (approximately 125% to 187.5% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines).

Examples of problems that the Legal Aid Bureau may assist in include: driver’s license suspensions, child support that interferes with employment or educational/training programs, child support arrearages owed to the state (including when parents end up getting back together), and the person who owed child support getting custody of the children.
