Summary of this case from Walters v. WaltersOpinion
Case No. 96-1365
Opinion filed January 7, 1998
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Edward Fine, Judge; L.T. Case No. CD 92-8771 FY.
Daniel D. Willey, Miami, pro se, and Lynn G. Waxman of Lynn G. Waxman, P.A., West Palm Beach, withdrew after filing brief, for appellant.
Cindy D. Willey, Lemont, Illinois, pro se.
We reverse the trial court's order modifying child support because it failed to deduct the father's payment of the child's health insurance from his child support obligation. § 61.30(8), Fla. Stat. (1995). However, it appears from the record that the mother may have also incurred medical insurance expenses which the trial court did not include in the total support obligation. Therefore, on remand, the trial court may revisit the issue of health insurance with respect to the mother's possible contribution.
STONE, C.J., KLEIN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
