Blunk v. Ivens

1 Citing case

  1. Catlett v. Catlett

    1966 OK 55 (Okla. 1966)   Cited 15 times
    In Catlett the rationale of the majority opinion seemingly rested on the premise that despite what appears to be the express authority granted a Texas court under the provisions of Art. 4639a, an award of child support was not subject to retroactive modification.

    Defendant requests that we reexamine this question giving consideration to the Texas statutes and several Texas decisions. Defendant cites Article 4639-a of the Texas Civil Statutes, Vernon's Civil Stat., and Texas cases as follows: Blunk v. Ivens, Tex. Civ. App. 330 S.W.2d 247; Johns v. Johns, Tex. Civ. App. 172 S.W.2d 770; Ex Parte Roberts, 139 Tex. 644, 165 S.W.2d 83; and Grubbs v. Grubbs, Tex. Civ.App., 164 S.W.2d 216. Article 4639-a of the Texas Civil Statutes and the cases cited outline the procedure to be followed in modifying a divorce decree because of change of conditions.
