Butler v. Butler
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided August 12, 1985No. 84-1444PublishedCited by 17 opinions
1Per curiam
Appellant appeals the denial of his motion to terminate court ordered child support when his child reaches age 18. He contends the trial court erred in interpreting D.C.Code § 30-401 (Supp.1984) 1 and misapplied Rittenhouse v. Rittenhouse, 461 A.2d 465 (D.C.1983).

We affirm.
