The applicant father brought a Motion to Change seeking retroactive termination of a 1982 combined spousal and child support order and repayment of alleged overpayments totaling $78,229.87.
The father argued his support obligation ended in 1996.
The court found the father's delay in bringing the motion was entirely his own fault, despite being advised by courts in 1993 and 2007 to do so.
Taking a holistic approach, the court noted the father historically underpaid support, failed to contribute to extraordinary expenses, and that the mother used the funds to support the children.
The court dismissed the motion, finding no overpayment occurred.
