In Re the Matter of: Paternity of W.M.T., Elizabeth Jackson v. Sharon Thomas
21A-JP-57
Juvenile paternity. Affirms the Hancock Superior Court’s order awarding custody of W.M.T. to Sharon Thomas, the order for Elizabeth Jackson to pay child support to Thomas and the denial of Jackson’s request for attorney fees. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted certain challenged evidence, nor did it err when it determined that Thomas was W.M.T.’s de facto custodian and that modification of W.M.T.’s custody was in the child’s best interests. Also finds the trial court didn’t err when it excluded W.M.T.’s survivor benefits from the child support calculation. Finally, finds the trial court didn’t abuse its discretion when it denied Jackson’s request for attorney fees.
