Douglass v. Rigg

This appeal arises out of an action to modify child support. Appellant sought to increase child support for the parties’ two minor children from a total of $400 per month to $2,916.67. During appellee’s opening statement, his counsel said:

Dr. Rigg is a plastic surgeon, practices in Texas. He went bankrupt in approximately 1980, and he has done well since that time. He draws a salary of $7,000 per month. He is the sole owner of his business and he employs several people, including his present wife. Both these parties are remarried.
