Boyd v. Manter

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed in part and vacated in part the amended judgment entered in the district court granting Edward Manter’s motion to modify and amending the parties’ 2008 divorce judgment as amended. The Supreme Court held (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion or err when it modified the parents’ rights of contract; (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Manter’s motion for amended or additional findings; and (3) because the record was devoid of evidence regarding interim child support payments, it could not be determined whether the district court erred when it determined that Master was nearly $11,000 in arrears of his child support obligation. The Supreme Court remanded the matter to the district court for further proceedings. View "Boyd v. Manter" on Justia Law
