South Dakota Supreme Court

Sherwin G. Gross, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Edwin E. Gross, Defendant and Appellant

September 12, 19841984 S.D. LEXIS 370

Summary

The South Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s modification of child support and award of attorney fees, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding changed circumstances—including the father’s increased ability to pay, the mother’s medical condition, the child’s age, and cost‑of‑living increases—and that the attorney‑fee award was proper.
