Babst v. Babst

Babst v. Babst
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 11, 1994 · Dennis
634 So. 2d 386; 1994 La. LEXIS 581; 1994 WL 78568 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Babst v. Babst

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Granted in part. Accepting the court of appeal’s findings as to the parties’ income as correct, it nevertheless appears that there was an error in the court’s calculation of monthly child support. After finding that the total monthly income of the parties should be reduced from $7,092.00 to $6,265.00, the court of appeal failed to recognize that the basic child support amount should be reduced from $1,732.00 to $1,587.00. Using these revised figures, the monthly child support award should be $1,625.20 instead of $1,748.45. The judgment is amended accordingly. Otherwise, the writ application is denied.

DENNIS, J., not on panel.
