The respondent father, Shefik Jakupi, sought leave to appeal an interim order for child support and costs issued by Justice Campbell.
The original order required the father to pay interim child support of $1,321 per month for the daughter, retroactive to October 1, 2016, based on an imputed income of $158,000, and costs of $2,800.
The court dismissed the father's motion for leave to appeal, finding that the strict two-part test under Rule 62.02(4) of the Rules of Civil Procedure was not met.
The court concluded that it was not desirable to grant leave and that the proposed appeal did not raise matters of such importance that leave should be granted, as the underlying order was fact-specific and involved the exercise of judicial discretion.
