Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Ashley L. Whitmore v. Nicholas A. Whitmore

January 10, 2023288 A.3d 799

Summary

The court vacated the divorce judgment because the trial court did not sufficiently explain its decisions concerning parental rights, the child's residence, and parental contact under the best-interest standard. It also vacated the child support order because the evidence did not support the finding that Nicholas's annual gross income was $24,666, and it directed reconsideration of related tax, arrearage, and attorney-fee issues. The court remanded for further proceedings and an amended judgment.
