REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 16, §§
40, 41, and 42 and former Article 45, § 21.

In subsection (a) of this section, the clause "a
husband is liable for" is substituted for the former
reference that stated that nothing in former Article
45 "shall be construed to relieve the husband from
liability for", for brevity and clarity.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former
term "engagements" is deleted as included in
"contracts".

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "for an
appropriate order" is new language added for clarity.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, "husband" is
substituted for the former term "married man", for
brevity.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former
phrase "in the City of Baltimore" is deleted to
conform to Subtitle BA of the Maryland Rules.
