Mississippi Supreme Court

Clausel v. Clausel

June 4, 1998714 So. 2d 265

Summary

The court reversed and remanded a child-support award of $750 per month because the chancellor exceeded the statutory guideline amount without making the required specific findings explaining why the guidelines were unjust or inappropriate. The record also lacked adequate findings concerning the obligor's income, expenses, financial ability, and the children's needs.
