Riddell v. Riddell
Annotate this CaseBenjamin and Molly Riddell were divorced in 2007. In 2009, Benjamin was granted a modification of his child support obligation. He became delinquent in his support payments. Molly moved to have Benjamin held in contempt of the child support order; Benjamin responded by moving the court to reconsider his support obligation. In 2012, the trial court held Benjamin in contempt and denied his motion for re-modification. On appeal, Benjamin argued that the trial court's denial of his motion for a second modification of his support obligation was in error. Upon review, the Supreme Court found that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to take into consideration the change in Benjamin's income since the first support modification. Accordingly, the trial court's decision was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
