Opinion
No. 45060.
April 11, 1975.
Divorce — decree — modification to increase child support — propriety.
Appeal by defendant husband from orders of the Ramsey County District Court, Otis H. Godfrey, Jr., Judge, which had the effect of amending a divorce decree upon the motion of plaintiff wife so as to increase the amount she was to be paid for the support of the minor child of the parties. Affirmed.
Winston Ehlmann, pro se, for appellant.
Firestone, Fink, Krawetz, Miley Maas and William W. Fink, for respondent.
Considered and decided by the court without oral argument.
Defendant husband challenges orders of the district court modifying a divorce decree (Ehlmann v. Ehlmann, 278 Minn. 370, 154 N.W.2d 684) to increase the amount of money payable to plaintiff for the support of a minor child of the parties. Although the timeliness of the appeal is doubtful, we have carefully considered the record on its merits and conclude that under all the circumstances the court did not abuse its discretion in so modifying the decree.
Plaintiff is awarded $350 attorneys fees on this appeal.
Affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE KELLY took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
