Zachery v. DSCS/Zachery

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s child-support order, holding that the court properly calculated the Father’s income, applied the presumptive support formula, and rejected challenges based on unequal parental obligations. The Court also held that the Father was not entitled to appointed counsel and that the proceedings did not violate due process or equal protection. The Court declined to consider certain constitutional arguments not raised below and upheld the retroactive-support award.
