Laughlin v. Laughlin

Summary

The court held that the parties' children's-fund agreement could not replace child support because it did not comply with the requirements for departing from the guideline calculation, including a written calculation of the support amount that otherwise would have been required. It reversed and remanded for a guideline child-support calculation, vacated the related allocation of dependent tax deductions, and affirmed the valuation of the marital residence's reasonable rental value. No separate opinions were filed.
