Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 9, 2021
Laura Sulkin, Respondent, vs. David Sulkin, Appellant.
David Sulkin appealed the trial court's judgment regarding maintenance and child support awarded to Laura Sulkin. The trial court had previously been remanded to clarify its findings on Wife's reasonable monthly expenses. On this second appeal, Husband challenged the maintenance award, arguing the expenses were improperly calculated and investment income was not considered. He also challenged the child support modification made by the trial court on remand. The appellate court affirmed the maintenance award but modified the child support award back to the original amount, finding the trial court exceeded its authority on remand regarding child support.
