Perkins v. Perkins

Lawson Cloninger, Judge.

Appellant contends in this appeal that the order of the chancellor directing appellee to pay only $500 per year for the support of two minor children in appellant’s custody constituted an abuse of discretion. Appellant argues that the figure is inadequate, as it represents less than one-fourth of the usual minimum amount required. We agree that the chancellor erred in setting the figure at such a relatively low level, and we reverse his decision and remand with instructions to the chancellor to establish an appropriate amount of support payments.
