Alexis Harriman v. Dillon Lamothe

Summary

The court vacated the child support order because the trial court deviated substantially from the presumptive guideline amount without finding that the guideline amount would be inequitable or unjust. The court also explained that, when parents provide substantially equal care, either parent may potentially qualify for an adjustment based on other dependent children, contrary to the trial court's categorical treatment of the adjustment as unavailable to co-primary caregivers. The matter was remanded for further findings and proceedings concerning child support.
