Joshua Anselm v. Ashley Anselm
19A-DC-2728
Domestic relation with children. Affirms the Jasper Superior Court’s award of primary physical custody of Joshua and Ashley Anselm’s children to Ashley. Reverses the order that Joshua pay for all uninsured medical expenses, and the award of $16,500 to Ashley. Finds the dissolution court entered sufficient findings and did not abuse its discretion when it awarded Ashley primary physical custody, and the court did not err when it relied on an unsigned child support worksheet to calculate Joshua’s child support obligation. But, finds the dissolution court did err when it ordered Joshua to both pay the recommended amount of child support and all uninsured health care expenses for the children. Finally, finds the dissolution court erred in awarding Ashley $16,500 based on its conclusion that the parties had $33,000 in equity in their home. Remands with instructions for the trial court to either order Ashley to pay for the first $951.60 in medical expenses or to credit Joshua with that amount toward his child support obligation, and to split the actual equity of about $10,600 between the parties.
