Mehne v. Hess

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the entire amount of a personal injury settlement should be considered for child support because the settlement “in large measure, was intended to compensate Mehne for the significant lost wages and future wage loss which he sustained”
• dis-cussing various approaches to allocation of lump sum personal injury settlement and choosing to prorate amount over remaining minority of the children
• rejecting apportionment over entire working life as “an untenable result” and not “in the children’s best interests” where it would have provided insufficient support
