Marriage of Kelly
James L. Kelly challenges the trial courts order that a previous stipulation requiring him to pay child support in the aggregate amount of $1,300 per month did not allocate support between the parties two children. James[1]asserts the trial court should have instead determined the stipulation allocated the $1,300 payment equally between the children so that his obligation was reduced automatically to $650 when the oldest child reached majority. James also contends the trial court erred when it failed to calculate the amount of support arrearages, including credits due to purported overpayments, and improperly delegated the matter to the Orange County Department of Child Support Services (DCSS).Court conclude substantial evidence supports the trial courts determination that the stipulation was unallocated. Court also conclude James failed to raise the issue of support arrearages, including credits, during trial, and the trial court appropriately deferred ruling on the issue. Accordingly, Court affirm.
