Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Interest on Money judgment

recently I was awarded money judgment on child support owed. Am I entitled to collect interest on over due child support as we would on any other money judgment? If so, how much can we collect. Thanks

Re: Interest on Money judgment

Generally, in Maryland, money judgements carry annual interest of 10%. Under sertain situations, parties may have an agreement which sets the interest rate higher. Collection can be quire complicated depending on a number of factors. An attorney can help with all those legal twists, turns and pit-falls. You can call my office any time for a free consultation.
