Geinert v. Geinert

NEUMANN, Justice.

[¶ 1] Michael Geinert appealed from judgments amending an original divorce judgment, and Marlys Geinert cross-appealed. We conclude the district court abused its discretion in making the modification of child support effective beginning with the July 2001 payment, rather than from the date of Michael’s motion two years earlier, and the court did not abuse its discretion when it declined to impute income to Michael. We reverse and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
