Parrish A. Dare v. Scott A. Frost

Summary

The court affirmed the circuit court's modification of visitation because the parties' deteriorating ability to cooperate and the resulting strain on the parent-child relationship constituted a material change in circumstances. It also affirmed the child-support ruling because the record did not establish that the stock-portfolio activity was income available to Frost, and it showed no basis to impute additional income based on his lifestyle. The court vacated the court of appeals' opinion. Justice Baker, joined by Justices Goodson and Hart, concurred in part and dissented in part, arguing that visitation should not have been modified and that realized stock profits should have been included in child-support income.
