Carpenter v. Carpenter

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that eight days after trial court entered order finding father had repaid support arrearage, father adjusted his voluntary wage assignment through his employer to reduce the amount withheld for child support
• “Father’s decision to pay child support via wage withholding was voluntary only in the sense that Father voluntarily complied with the law.”
• appellate court remanded case, instructing trial court to enter more specific findings to support its decision to award dependent tax exemptions to Father
• “Although we do not apply an altered standard of review when a trial court adopts a party’s findings verbatim, ‘near verbatim reproductions may appropriately justify cautious appellate scrutiny.’”
• “Subsection (a)(3) does not deal with the ‘emancipation’ of a child; it merely identifies circumstances under which our legislature has determined a parent’s obligation to pay child support should terminate.”
