Kylie B. Chitwood, Appellant v. Gordon G. Chitwood, Jr., Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the father, holding that the daughter's claim for child-support arrearages was the same singular support obligation previously pursued by her mother and therefore could not be pursued again after the mother's action was barred by equitable estoppel. The court also concluded that the undisputed evidence concerning the children's needs did not affect the judgment because the claim was barred as a matter of law. Justice Baker, dissenting, would have held that the daughter's post-majority claim was distinct and would have reversed and remanded for trial.
