Marriage of Hale
In 2003, Daniel and Shilin Hale separated after a seven-year marriage and, in March 2004, a judgment incorporating a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) was entered terminating their marriage. The MSA resolved property division and custody issues, imposed family support and child support obligations on Daniel, and resolved other matters. In late 2005 Daniel filed an Order to Show Cause (OSC) seeking to reduce his support obligations and alter the custody arrangement. On June 20, 2006, the court granted Daniel some, but not all, of the relief sought by his OSC, including a reduced amount for spousal and child support.
In July 2006 Daniel filed another OSC (the July OSC) seeking an order that, among other things, would declare the June 20 order reducing his child and spousal support obligations retroactive to December 2005. The court's September 2006 order denied these requests and Daniel timely appealed the September 2006 order entered in response to the July OSC.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded.
