Marriage of Blackford

Summary

The Court affirmed the District Court’s denial of Carrie Brewer’s claims for back child support, current child support, and attorney fees. It declined to replace abuse-of-discretion review with de novo review for a variance from the Montana Child Support Guidelines and concluded that the District Court’s factual findings were supported by substantial evidence, its legal conclusions were correct, and its discretionary rulings were not an abuse of discretion.
