Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Myndilee Wong v. Jack Hawk
November 6, 20122012 Me. LEXIS 125
Summary
The court vacated the District Court's modification of a child support order and remanded for reinstatement of the magistrate's order. It held that a dependent benefit based on a parent's Social Security retirement account does not qualify for the statutory child-support credit reserved for benefits resulting from the obligor's disability, and that the magistrate acted within her discretion in declining to deviate from the guidelines. No separate opinions were filed.
