Beecher Baucom v. Hazel Crews

Beecher Baucom appeals the award of a lump-sum child-support payment of $12,602.59. Baucom complains of the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence to support various fact findings made by the trial court. He also contends that the court abused its discretion in applying the statutory child-support guidelines to determine the lump-sum award and that the award was excessive. Finally, Baucom complains that the court erred in awarding support retroactively based on funds received prior to the filing of the motion to modify and prior to the beginning of the calendar year. We affirm the modification order and the lump-sum award.
