Donald R. Lembo v. Carolyn A. Lembo.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island quashed a temporary child-support judgment because the Family Court did not use the required child-support-guidelines worksheet or make findings supporting a deviation from the guideline amount. The case was remanded for review of the completed worksheet and additional fact-finding, while the plaintiff's reduced interim payments were continued pending further Family Court action. The court deferred ruling on the challenges to the amount and retroactivity of the support order until remand.
