Opinion
No. 93-789.
July 6, 1994.
On Appeal from the Fifteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana, Lucien C. Bertrand, Jr., Judge, presiding.
Diane Sorola, Kraig Thomas Strenge, Lafayette, for Robert Douglas Greene.
Joseph Michael Placer, Lafayette, for Cheryl Elaine Flaharty Greene.
Before DOUCET, YELVERTON and SAUNDERS, JJ.
AMENDED OPINION
It has come to the court's attention that the awards of child support in this matter were incorrectly calculated. We have recalculated the awards as shown in the Child Support Obligation Worksheets attached hereto as Appendices A and B. In accordance with the revised recommended child support order shown therein, we amend the award of child support to reflect that Robert Douglas Greene is required to pay child support in the amount of $783.75 for Jeffrey and Robert Greene from June 1, 1992, until November 24, 1992, and child support in the amount of $985.53 for Kristopher, Jeffrey, and Robert Greene from November 25, 1992, and thereafter.
AMENDED.
