Marriage of Siva
Annotate this CaseThe parties had one teenage child, S.S. During their contentious dissolution proceedings, S.S. experienced serious issues. In January 2018, the trial court entered a judgment that provided for joint legal and physical custody of S.S., with mother having a 72 percent timeshare. S.S. was able to spend time at either parent’s residence at her discretion. Father was ordered to pay $1,700 in monthly child support. On April 10, 2018, S.S. left mother’s home. S.S. lived full-time with father thereafter. Mother then filed an income withholding order for child support. In July, the court held a custody review hearing. The court ordered reunification therapy, denied mother’s requests to require S.S. to return to her physical custody, and set a custody trial. In February 2019, father requested that he be permitted to cease paying child support, and that mother be ordered to pay him monthly child support and $18,133 in “Jackson” credits for the child support he paid from April 11, 2018. The trial court granted father’s request to modify child support and ordered mother to pay father $18,133 in $1,000 monthly installments. The court of appeal affirmed. The court had discretion to allow a credit for father’s double-satisfaction of his child support obligation.
