Richardson v. Levitt

The undisputed evidence showed that the ex-husband wilfully failed to comply with his obligation to pay for his child's college education.

Thank you for sharing!

We granted discretionary review in this domestic relations case to decide whether compensation received by husband from his employer as an incentive to early retirement was a bonus or additional salary requiring payment of additional child support under the terms of the final divorce decree.

John T. Richardson and Valerie Levitt were divorced in 1992 by final judgment and decree which incorporated a settlement agreement. Under that agreement, Richardson was required to pay 25 percent of his gross monthly salary as support for the parties’ two minor children and, as additional child support, 25 percent of the net of any future “bonus or salary increase from his employer” which is received in a year in which his child support obligation was ongoing. Richardson was to retain as his separate property his entire retirement account and his pension with his employer.
