A-17-1210, State obo Kaaden S. v. Jeffery T. (appellant) v. Mandy M.L.S.
Jefferson County, District Judge Rick A. Schreiner
Attorney for Appellant: Ronald R. Brackle
Attorney for Appellee: Angelica W. McClure (Kotik & McClure Law)
Civil Action: paternity, custody, and child support
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court awarded Jeffery sole physical and legal custody of the minor child, subject to Mandy’s parenting time, ordered Jeffery to pay child support, and held Mandy in contempt of court, imposing a fine of $50.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: On appeal, Jeffery assigns that the district court erred in (1) essentially awarding the parties joint physical custody; (2) declining to change the minor child’s last name; (3) ordering him to pay child support to Mandy, using the joint physical custody worksheet to calculate child support, and ordering him to pay the first $480 in health-care expenses; (4) declining to order Mandy to pay child support; (5) not imposing a fine greater than $50 on Mandy for contempt of court; and (6) failing to award him attorney fees.
