Kylie B. Chitwood, Appellant v. Gordon G. Chitwood, Jr., Appellee — Baker, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Baker dissented from the majority's conclusion that the child-support-arrearages statute created only a single enforceable obligation that barred the child's claim. She reasoned that the child's action after reaching majority was distinct from the mother's previously estopped claim, that the support obligation remained viable, and that the father's obligation was not satisfied because the child's needs were met through the mother's inheritance. Justice Baker would have reversed and remanded for trial.
