Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, David Porter, Judge. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED FOR RECALCULATION OF CHILD SUPPORT. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the district court’s order modifying the father’s child support obligation, arguing the court ignored pertinent facts and that the court should have made the support obligation retroactive. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court failed to properly account for various deductions in its child support calculation, we reverse and remand for recalculation of child support. But we affirm that part of the court’s ruling, establishing a start date for the modified child support payments.
