Indiana Court of Appeals
Brian A. Batta v. Christina S. Batta
24A-DR-192
Domestic relations. Reverses the Tippecanoe Superior Court’s order determining the amount of Brian Batta’s child support arrearage. Finds the trial court erred in denying Batta a credit against his existing support arrearage for the lump-sum payments of retroactive Social Security Disability benefits and for all of the periodic SSD benefit payments received to date by his children or by Christina Batta on their behalf. Remands for further proceedings and a new order calculating the father’s current arrearage.
