Olga H. Villars, Appellant v. Richard J. Villars, Appellee

Summary

The court held that Richard's support obligation under the immigration affidavit and divorce decree properly accounted for Olga's California residence, Linda's temporary absence, and Olga's earnings. It also held that the trial court clearly erred by using a formula that overstated George's support contributions because it failed to account for the parties' unstable and separate living arrangements. The court rejected Olga's due-process and evidentiary challenges, but vacated and remanded for more specific findings concerning George's actual contributions. Justice Carpeneti, concurring, agreed with the remand but would have allowed the trial court to reaffirm the offset if it made specific findings supported by the existing record.
