Adams v. Adams

QUINN, Associate Judge:

I dissent from the majority opinion because I find it contravenes the general rule *918that children are not to be deprived of support because of their parents’ misconduct; that it violates the rule of Kephart v. Kcphart, 89 U.S.App.D.C. 373, 193 F.2d 677 (1951), cert. denied 342 U.S. 944, 72 S.Ct. 557, 96 L.Ed. 702 (1952); and that it emasculates the equitable powers of the Domestic Relations Branch of the trial court by stating that it was without authority to appoint a trustee to dispose of funds held in escrow for the benefit of minor children.

As the majority opinion…
