South Dakota Supreme Court
Carmen Colette Schieffer, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Kevin Victor — Zinter, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…
January 23, 20132013 S.D. LEXIS 9
Summary
Justice Zinter concurs with the majority on all issues except child support, joining Justice Konenkamp’s dissent on that matter. He argues that the trial court erred as a matter of law by applying the top scheduled amount for a $20,000 income to parents whose combined monthly income was $185,000, and that additional support awards do not cure the error in the base support calculation. He also contends that the aging of children is not a change in circumstances that justifies increasing the base support. The opinion is a concurring‑in‑part and dissenting‑in‑part opinion and does not contain a holding.
