Description
The 1993 decree of dissolution, based on the parties' stipulation, awarded them joint legal and physical custody of their two children and reserved the district court's jurisdiction over the matter of child support. In 2000, Becker County initiated child- support proceedings. After a hearing, a child support magistrate (CSM) ordered mother to pay $345 per month in ongoing child support and to provide medical and dental insurance for the children, and granted father a $13,638 judgment for child-support arrearages from January 1997 to July 2000. Mother moved for reconsideration, requesting amended findings and an amended order or a new hearing. The district court, which was not provided with a transcript of the hearing, reconsidered the matter based on the record submitted and issued a one-paragraph order affirming the CSM's order without modification. Mother appeals. Because (1) the district court has no authority to make an initial child-support obligation retroactive; (2) there is insufficient evidence to support the finding of mother's net monthly income; and (3) the Hortis/Valento formula applies in a joint physical custody arrangement, we reverse and remand to the district court for recalculation of mother's support obligation.
