Pontbriand v. Pontbriand

Supreme Court of Rhode Island
Jun 18, 1992
608 A.2d 658 (R.I. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-517-A.

June 18, 1992.

Appeal from Family Court; O'Brien, Judge.

Brenda C. Harrington, for plaintiff.

David Strachman, Deborah Miller Tate, for defendant.


Order

On June 16, 1992, the plaintiff appeared before a panel of this court to show cause why his appeal from a Family court order modifying child support should not be summarily denied and dismissed.

After consideration of arguments and memoranda of counsel, the court is of the opinion that this is not an appealable decision and that cause has snot been shown. As we indicated in our prior order dated February 21, 1992, this court has held that orders modifying child support are not appealable under G.L. 1956 (1981 Reenactment) § 14-1-52, but may be reviewed only by writ of certiorari. See Cok v. Cok, 558 A.2d 205, 207 (R.I. 1989).

Consequently, the plaintiff's appeal is denied and dismissed. The judgment of the Family Court is affirmed.

KELLEHER and WEISBERGER, JJ., did not participate.
