Description
HARTZ, Judge. Rodrick Leeder (Husband) appeals from a district court order increasing the amount of child support he must pay his former
wife, Stacy Brown (Wife). The district court calculated the amount of child support Husband should pay by determining the
income of Husband and Wife and then making the computations set forth in the statutory child support guidelines, NMSA 1978,
Section 40-4-11.1 (Repl. Pamp. 1994). Husband's brief in chief lists seven issues, three of which have multiple subissues.
We consolidate Husband's issues as follows: (1) whether the district court failed to make findings necessary to justify the
child support award, (2) whether the district court erred in refusing to depart from the statutory child support guidelines,
(3) whether the district court erred by failing to include certain principal payments as income to Wife and reductions of
income to Husband for the purpose of applying the guidelines, and (4) whether the district court improperly modified child
support retroactively. We affirm the district court judgment in its entirety except that the modification of child support
cannot be effective prior to the date Wife filed a pleading seeking increased child support.
