Case No. 02-C-2160
South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
Gail Hagerty
Highlight
When an obligor owes a duty of support to at least one obligee, as well as a duty of support to a child living with the obligor who is not also a child of that obligee, the child support guidelines require that the district court make an allowance for the child living with the obligor.
When calculating an obligor's annual gross income, the district court must use the obligor's previous year's tax return unless the court makes a specific finding that the income reflected on the tax return is not a reliable indicator of future income.
The district court should generally make a modification of child support effective from the date of the motion to modify, although the court retains discretion to set some later effective date, so long as its reasons for doing so are clear or explained.
The district court may retroactively modify a child support obligation when both parties agree to a change in primary residential responsibility and the obligor moves for relief from the judgment under N.D.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(vi).
