Cesar Tamayo v. Paula Arroyo.

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court held that it has jurisdiction to hear the direct appeal, vacated the Family Court’s child‑support order, and remanded for a proper calculation that includes all of the father’s income and reasonable day‑care expenses. The court emphasized the inclusive definition of income in the child‑support guidelines and found the magistrate abused discretion in excluding certain earnings and denying reimbursement.
