1Opinion of the Court

Brown, A.C.J.

— Today, we consider Ronald Dicus’s appeal of the trial court’s order on revision denying his February 2000 motion for child support credits for social security payments paid for the benefit of his children in *3501984 to 1990. Under our facts, the trial court properly relied on the doctrines of res judicata and laches to bar Mr. Dicus’s claimed offset directly attacking a February 1999 child support order and indirectly attacking or seeking revision of even earlier orders. Accordingly, we affirm.
