Can ex-wife's husband's income be used for child support calculation in Maryland?
Marriage & divorce laws need reformation. It should be universal for all. If ex-wife's husband agreed to pay or court has given decissions to pay,there is no problem to utilise the income in favour of child support.
It has to be approved by child support enforcement and/or the court. But, consider this. If you properly remember back when child support was established, both your income were used for setting the amount. The mother is obligated, by court order, to also provide a percentage of her income to the child. Now, if the mother is paying for the college education, this will not be applicable, but if she's not, and the child is living away from home, at school, than she should also be providing the child with support.
Consider filing for a Trust Fund, whereby both of you are required to pay into it and the child draws from it for their living expenses. See link

If you have two jobs can child support garnish your wages from both jobs?
Child support can garnish your wages from both employers, but this depends upon your income and the decision of the judge or magistrate. If you cannot afford to pay the amount, you should immediately file a petition to decrease the support order. This may take time, but you could provide your monthly income and expenses to prove that you cannot afford to have wages garnished from both places of employment. If you are in arrears, try to work out a pay plan, but I strongly recommend that you file to decrease the order. If the other parent is unwilling to work with you, get immediate counseling from a family attorney. There are many that will represent you for a small fee, and there are a few that will handle the case pro-bono. There are also public defenders that will take on your case to assist you. The two jobs will only garnish the wages of both jobs if your judge or magistrate ordered this through the courts.
