Domestic Relations: Child Support-Abatement Of Payments-College Student
Staff Report//November 14, 2023//
Where a mother appealed a trial court’s modification of child support that increased her monthly award but abated payments for eight months while the child attended college, the judgment is affirmed because the evidence supported a finding of redundancy between the child’s college and other expenses and mother’s expenses since the father was ordered to pay 95 percent of the child’s educational, living, recreational and other incidental expenses in addition to monthly child support.
Judgment is affirmed.
