Toppenberg v. Toppenberg

Summary

The court upheld the modification of Zach Toppenberg’s child support obligation because he presented sufficient evidence that his reduced income was not caused by a change in employment made to reduce support and that the existing obligation no longer conformed to the guidelines. The court nevertheless reversed the support calculation because the district court omitted $30,000 in gifts and $24,000 in unreported income from gross income. The case was remanded for recalculation of net income and the amended obligation.
