Ex Parte St. Clair County Dept. of Human Resources
Opinion
The Court of Civil Appeals,
We note, however, that § 12-15-71(i) requires a trial court to order child support in conformity with Rule 32, Ala.R.Jud.Admin., and that this rule requires the court to order the parents to pay child support when the parents have resources *Page 483 for child support. A trial court, therefore, must apply the guidelines set out in Rule 32 when making child support determinations in cases such as this. These guidelines require the trial court to consider the resources of the parents, not simply their incomes, in making a determination of child support.
WRIT DENIED.
HORNSBY, C.J., J., and MADDOX, HOUSTON and KENNEDY, JJ., concur.
