CompFox AI Summary
This appeal concerns a modification of child support and the division of un-reimbursed medical and dental expenses following a divorce. The primary legal issue addressed by the Court of Appeals was the calculation of child support for military members, specifically how to account for non-taxable military allowances in accordance with Tennessee Child Support Guidelines. The court affirmed the increase in child support for 2001, with a modification to properly impute income for non-taxable military benefits. However, the child support award for 2002 was reversed and remanded for recalculation using the newly established imputation method. The court also affirmed the trial court's decision regarding the appellant's responsibility for half of un-reimbursed medical and dental expenses while still in the military, exercising its statutory power to modify terms despite an omission in the original marital dissolution agreement.
