CASES, INCLUDING THE POWER TO PUNISH THE OBLIGOR FOR CONTEMPT AS
IN THE CASE OF OTHER ORDERS FOR PAYMENT OF ALIMONY, MAINTENANCE,
OR SUPPORT ENTERED IN THIS STATE.

89C, § 39.

A reference is conformed to the organization of this
subtitle.

The word "Maryland" is added to the name of the act to
indicate that it is the Uniform Act of this State, and
not necessarily the Uniform Act as adopted by other
states.

The only other changes are in style.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Article 89C, § 37, which related to severability, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of Article 1, § 23 of the Code.
