Voishan v. Palmer

After the Voishans divorced, the mother (plaintiff) had custody and the father (defendant) paid increasing child support over the years; when his income reached $145,000 annually, she sought a further increase. Maryland's guidelines use the income-shares model, apportioning support based on both parents' combined income, but the father argued the schedule's stated top range should cap any award.

Whether, under Maryland's income-shares model, child support is capped at the upper limit of the child-support guideline schedule.
