Garnier v. Chester

Opinion

RAMIREZ, P. J.

Former wife appeals from a trial court order which states that former husband’s obligation to provide support for the minor daughter of the parties is to terminate no later than the daughter’s 19th birthday. Under the original Oregon judgment of dissolution, support was to continue until the daughter reached the age of 21 provided she attended school up to that time. Appellant argues that the California court abused its discretion by modifying the Oregon support order in the absence of a request for modification. We agree with appellant.
