Bryant v. Bryant
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
HUNTER, Justice.
Albert Francis Bryant (“Defendant”) appeals from an order modifying Defendant’s child support obligation.1 Defendant argues his discharge from the Army was an involuntary action and therefore was sufficient to support an increased modification of his child support order. After careful review, we find the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (“DOPMA”) controls over the matter and that its provisions require Defendant’s discharge to be considered involuntary. We reverse and remand for the trial court to make further findings accordingly.
