Haddon v. Department of Human Resources

Smith, Judge.

The Department of Human Resources (DHR) ex rel. Catherine Wood, filed a “non-AFDC” petition1 against Haddon to recover child support for Anne Wood, Catherine Wood’s minor child. Haddon filed a motion to dismiss based on an order entered in probate court in 1978. The order approved and incorporated a settlement agreement entered into by Haddon and Catherine Wood. The agreement had been approved by the guardian ad litem appointed to represent Anne Wood. The trial court denied the motion, and we granted Haddon’s petition for interlocutory review.
