TONYA HALLEEN BLACKWELL v. CHRISTOPHER S. BLACKWELL

Posted by: Chandra Williams on Jun 30, 2016

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Christopher J. Pittman, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Tonya Halleen Blackwell.

Attorneys 2:

Steven C. Girsky, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Christopher S. Blackwell.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this post-divorce action, the mother sought modification of the father’s child support obligation due to a material change of circumstances. The trial court increased the father’s child support obligation but declined to order such modification effective as of the date the mother filed her petition to modify. The mother has appealed. Having determined that the trial court erred in failing to modify the father’s child support obligation effective as of the date of the petition’s filing, we reverse the trial court’s judgment in that regard and remand for entry of a modified judgment retroactive to the date the mother filed the petition. We affirm the trial court’s judgment in all other respects.
