West Virginia Supreme Court

In Re the Marriage of William G. Wilson, Petitioner Below, Appellant v. Tina L. Wilson, Respondent Below, Appellee

May 7, 2003214 W. Va. 14

Summary

The court affirmed the circuit court's adoption of the family law master's rulings awarding permanent alimony, calculating child support, and awarding attorney's fees. It held that the family law master considered the applicable alimony factors, properly classified the appellant's earnings for child-support purposes, and acted within the court's discretion in awarding attorney's fees. The court additionally awarded the appellee reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in defending the appeal and remanded solely for a hearing to determine those amounts.
