Supcoe v. Shearer

This is an appeal by Dan L. Shearer (hereinafter “Mr. Shearer” or “Appellant”) from a child support order of the Circuit Court of Monongalia County obligating Mr. Shearer to pay his former wife, Appellee Susan Shearer Supcoe (hereinafter “Mrs. Supcoe” or “Appellee”), retroactive child support of $8970.41 and prospective monthly support of $356.10. Mr. Shearer contends that retroactive child support is patently unfair based upon Mrs. Supcoe’s failure to request court-ordered child support in a timely fashion. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
