Eldridge v. Eldridge
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jill E. Eldridge (Wife) filed for divorce from appellee Joshua R. C. Eldridge (Husband) after more than seven years of marriage. Following a bench trial, the trial court issued a final judgment and decree of divorce in which it granted joint legal custody of the couple's two children to both parents and primary physical custody to Wife; ordered Husband to pay $1379 per month in child support; assigned to Wife responsibility for her student loans; and adopted its own parenting plan. The Supreme Court granted Wife's application for discretionary review and concluded that the trial court erred: (1) in its determination of child support by failing to make mandatory written findings in granting a deviation and in applying an incorrect conversion factor in calculating Wife's monthly child care costs and (2) in adopting a parenting plan that failed to specify when Husband's weekend visitation begins and ends. Accordingly, the Court reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded with direction.
