Ritchard S. Noble, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Mary Hudson Fisher, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed the increased child-support obligation because the governing guidelines define gross income broadly to include earnings from a second job. It held that the parents' agreement to pay college expenses was valid, but because it had merged into the divorce decree, it could not be enforced as a separate contractual obligation by the parent through the decree. The court also affirmed attorney-fee awards under the agreement's broad fee-shifting provision, concluding that the mother was the prevailing party.
