Frankie L. Reasor v. Rose M. Johnson Jordan
Annotate this CaseAfter a lengthy battle regarding child custody, visitation, and child support, a chancellor granted Frankie Reasor custody of his teenage daughter. But the chancellor found Reasor in arrears on child-support payments, held him in contempt, and entered a judgment in favor of Rose Jordan for back child support. The issue before the Supreme Court in this appeal concerned a subsequent hearing in which a second chancellor determined the amount of arrears, entered a fifty-five-percent withholding order to collect the judgment, and ordered Reasor to pay Jordan’s attorney’s fees. Reasor raised five issues on appeal. Upon review, the Supreme Court found that the chancellor erred by entering a fifty-five percent withholding order. The Court affirmed the chancellor in all other respects, and remanded the case for recalculation of the withholding.
