Mississippi Supreme Court
Dufour v. Dufour
January 27, 1994631 So. 2d 192
Summary
The court reversed and remanded the child-support award because the chancellor made no specific findings regarding income, expenses, or the child's needs and did not explain an award exceeding the statutory guideline amount. It affirmed the transitional alimony award because the evidence showed a substantial disparity between the parties' income and expenses and supported the amount and duration ordered. The court required more specific findings on remand rather than imposing the guideline amount itself.
