LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 296

IF THE PARENTS OF A MINOR CHILD LIVE APART, THE DOMICILE OF
THE CHILD IS THE SAME AS THAT OF:

(1)  THE PARENT TO WHOM CUSTODY IS AWARDED; OR

(2)   IF CUSTODY HAS NOT BEEN AWARDED, THE PARENT WITH
WHOM THE CHILD LIVES.

(C) DOMICILE OF MINOR CHILD NOT LIVING WITH PARENT.

IF A MINOR CHILD DOES NOT LIVE WITH EITHER PARENT, THE
DOMICILE OF THE CHILD IS THE SAME AS THAT OF THE PERSON WHO ACTS
IN THE CAPACITY OF A PARENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 72A, §
1A.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the introductory
reference to the parents living together and the child
living with them is new language added for clarity.

In subsection (b)(1) and (2) of this section, "legal",
which formerly modified "custody", is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the term "awarded".

In subsection (c) of this section, the former phrase
"or guardian" is deleted as included in "person who
acts in the capacity of a parent".

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code calls the
attention of the General Assembly to subsection (c) of
this section. The rule established by subsection (c)
of this section, as revised and as it formerly
appeared in Article 72A, § 1A(3), applies whether the
child's parents live together or apart.

5-205. RIGHT TO SERVICES AND EARNINGS OF MINOR CHILD.

ONE PARENT, TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE OTHER PARENT, IS
ENTITLED TO THE SERVICES AND EARNINGS OF A MINOR CHILD IF:

(1)  THAT PARENT HAS BEEN AWARDED CUSTODY OF THE
CHILD; OR

(2)  THE OTHER PARENT HAS ABANDONED THE CHILD OR IS
DEAD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 72A, §
2.

The term "minor child" is substituted for the former
phrase "child under eighteen years of age", for
