Opinion
1950495.
May 31, 1996.
Petition for writ of Certiorari to the Court of Civil Appeals (Mobile Circuit Court, DR-94-502311; Court of Civil Appeals, 2940607); Braxton Kittrell, Judge.
Lawrence J. Hallett, Mobile, for Petitioner.
J. Jerry Pilgrim, Mobile, for Respondent.
WRIT DENIED.
HOOPER, C.J., and MADDOX, ALMON, SHORES, HOUSTON, INGRAM, and BUTTS, JJ., concur.
KENNEDY, J., dissents.
I think this Court should grant certiorari review, if for no other reason than to address the trial court's order awarding the unwed mother a total of only $1,000 from the father for all the child's prior expenses and support.
The mother indicates in her petition that there was "uncontroverted" evidence that prior medical expenses for the child exceeded $6,000 and that from the time of the child's birth the father had made no payments of support.
