Perreault v. Vallieres
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court vacated in part the district court's amended divorce judgment in this action involving the modification of a divorce judgment, holding that the court erred in calculating child support by imputing an income to Mother that was higher than her actual income.
The divorce judgment awarded Mother and Father shared parental rights and responsibilities as to their two children and allocated primary physical residence to Mother. Both parties later filed motions for contempt and Father moved to modify the judgment as to the children's residence, child support, and his rights of contact. The court granted Father's motion to modify and entered an amended divorce judgment. On appeal, Mother argued that the court erred in failing to find that her income was $37,287. The Supreme Judicial Court vacated the court's child support judgment and remanded the case, holding that the court's findings were insufficient to allow for effective appellate review because they did not indicate the court's basis for imputing income to Mother.
