Case Number: 20210265
Judge: John W. Grinsteiner
Court: District Court of Burleigh County, North Dakota
Plaintiff's Attorney: Heather M. Krumm
Defendant's Attorney: Elise A. Fischer and Theresa L. Kellington
Description: Bismarck, North Dakota family law lawyers represented the parties in a divorce case involving child support.
Bryon Updike appeals from a divorce judgment. He argues the district court erred when it calculated child support and when it distributed the parties' assets and debts. April Updike cross appeals arguing the court erred when it failed to include a commencement date for the child support obligation. We hold the court did not err when it imputed income to Bryon Updike for purposes of child support and the court's property and debt distribution is not clearly erroneous. We modify the judgment to include a child support commencement date that the parties have agreed to on appeal, and we affirm the judgment as modified.
Updike v. Updike, 2022 ND 99 (N.D. 2022)
Outcome: We modify the judgment to include the parties' agreed-upon child support commencement date of April 1, 2020. The judgment is affirmed as modified.
