Feinhals v. Feinhals

EDWARDS, Judge.

When Mr. and Mrs. Feinhals were divorced, Mrs. Feinhals was awarded custody of the couple’s three minor children.1 The trial court denied Mrs. Feinhals’ request for alimony but awarded her $1,050 per month as child support. She appealed, seeking to have the award increased to $2,250. Mr. Feinhals answered, seeking a reduction of the award. We affirm.

The trial court has wide discretion in setting the amount of child support and the award will not be set aside absent an abuse of discretion. Ducote v. Ducote, 339 So.2d 835, 839 (La.1976); Nelms v. Nelms, 413 So.2d 1341, 1342…
