Yarbrough v. Yarbrough

This appeal concerns the trial courts decree that Hunter Lee Yarbrough pay spousal maintenance to Julia Walsh Yarbrough for one year after their divorce and the amount of child support the court ordered Hunter to pay. Hunter contends in two points that the court abused its discretion: (1) by ordering spousal maintenance because Julia failed to present evidence (A) to overcome the statutory presumption against spousal maintenance, (B) that their daughter S.L.Y. requires special care which prevents Julia from obtaining a full-time job, and (C) of her "minimum reasonable needs"; and (2) by ordering child support from his net monthly resources in excess of $6,000 because Julia failed to present evidence of the childrens needs. Because the record contains adequate information to support the courts decision to order spousal maintenance and to support the amounts of spousal maintenance and child support awarded, we will affirm.
