Carson Waterman v. Grady Wheeler

Summary

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court held that when parents share substantially equal residential care, neither is the primary care provider under 19-A M.R.S. §2006(5)(A); therefore Wheeler is a "parent who is not the primary care provider" and is entitled to an adjustment of his child‑support obligation. The trial court’s order was vacated and the case remanded for recalculation consistent with that interpretation.
