Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Kevin McKeever, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., May, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (8 pages)
Kyle Mahoney appeals a temporary child support order, contending the district court erred in “adopting Tamara [Mahoney]’s calculations” regarding the amount of his income “without any written findings or explanation as to how this amount was appropriate or necessary to do justice between the parties.” OPINION HOLDS: We reverse and remand for the court to consider whether it is appropriate to find the guidelines amount would be “unjust or inappropriate” under the child support guidelines set forth in Iowa Court Rule 9.11.
