In re Marriage of Steab
Annotate this CaseMother and Father divorced in 2002 when their children were approximately fifteen, twelve, and two years old. Afterward, the children resided at different times with either Mother or Father. Therefore, both Mother and Father were at times obligated to the other for child support. Since their divorce, the parties were engaged in years of litigation against each other. This appeal challenged the legal conclusions set forth in the district court's 2012 order regarding child support arrearage. The parties had failed to timely pay their child support obligations each other, which resulted in an arrearage on the part of both parents. The district court determined that Father's child support arrearage was to be offset against Mother's larger child support arrearage and that the remaining marital debt owed by Father had been discharged in bankruptcy court in 2011. The Supreme Court (1) reversed the district court's calculations of the interest on both parties' arrearages; and (2) otherwise affirmed. Remanded.
