Bogner v. Bogner
Annotate this CaseIn 2007, when the parties’ child was just over two years old, Father and Mother’s marriage was dissolved. In 2013, Father filed to modify his support obligation given an increased number of overnights Father was having with the child and a decrease in childcare costs. Under the Indiana Child Support Guidelines, the applicable parenting time credit decreased Father’s support obligation from $135 per week to $59 per week. Mother sought a deviation from the recommended amount, arguing that she could not properly support the child with such a minimal contribution from Father. The trial court agreed with Mother and deviated upward from the recommended support but still reduced Father’s previous support obligation to $105 per week. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s child support modification order, holding that the trial court did not commit clear error when it deviated from the Guidelines by not granting Father the full parenting time credit and permitted Mother to claim the child each year for the federal and state dependency tax exemption.
