Marriage of LeBlanc
This case involves appeals in a marital dissolution proceeding from two postjudgment orders. One order grants the application of Marc LeBlanc to reduce his agreed-upon monthly child support obligation because he had sold his dental practices and his monthly income had been reduced to half of what it had been when he and April LeBlanc entered into a marital settlement agreement pursuant to which he had agreed to pay more support than required under the state child support guidelines. The other order grants Aprils[1]motion to recover the profit Marc made on the sale of his dental practices because Marc did not disclose the transactions, or their affect on his monthly income, even though Marc entered into both transactions before the final marital settlement agreement was signed and the judgment was entered. Marc appeals from the latter order and also challenges the trial courts related order awarding attorneys fees to April in connection with her motion. April appeals from the order modifying Marcs monthly child support payments. Court conclude, for reasons we explain below, that the trial court correctly granted Aprils motion, but the attorneys fees award is not supported by substantial evidence. We further conclude that in reducing Marcs monthly child support obligation the trial court incorrectly considered Marcs reduced income.
