Hume v. Hume

Plaintiff Marylu Hume, now Allen, appeals from an order modifying the support provisions of a 1962 divorce decree.

By the terms of that decree, plaintiff was awarded custody of the three minor children and defendant was ordered to pay $50 per month per child for their support. The decree also approved the terms and conditions of a property settlement agreement which provided, among other things, that defendant would be entitled to claim the children as dependents for income tax purposes. Plaintiff agreed to execute the necessary tax form to support that dependency claim.
