In re Marriage of JEFFREY W. and MARTHA ROTHROCK
Annuity purchased from undifferentiated and unallocated personal injury settlement is not income for purpose of calculating child support. Trial court did not violate wife's right to due process by considering husband's supplemental trial memorandum, which was filed late and failed to provide an official citation to one of the cases cited, where wife did not object to the court's consideration of the late supplemental memorandum, move for a continuance or request additional time to brief the cited case. Trial court did not abuse its discretion by significantly reducing child support based upon payor's recent period of unemployment, even if payor had significant periods of unemployment in the past but managed to later find good-paying work, where there was no competent evidence from which trial court could have imputed additional income to payor. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering uninsured parent to reimburse insured parent for portion of medical costs not reimbursed by insurance, where uninsured parent while objecting to insured parent's request as untimely presented no evidence as to when she received statement of costs; reimbursement was required under a marital settlement agreement that did not set a time limit for presentation of a bill for such expenses; applicable statute permitted trial court to order reimbursement even if request was untimely; and trial court implicitly found that insured parent did not act unreasonably under the circumstances and properly exercised its discretion in ordering uninsured parent to reimburse insured parent for one half of the minor children's uninsured healthcare expenses.
