Clinton Swaney, Appellant v. Aimee Granger, Appellee

Summary

The court vacated a child-support modification because the superior court made it effective before the date the modification motion was served, contrary to the prohibition on retroactive modification. It also held that the superior court had not adequately determined the father's adjusted annual income under the governing child-support rule, particularly because it did not meaningfully analyze business deductions, losses, distributions, and personal finances. The case was remanded for a new support determination beginning on the motion date.
