Clarissa Jane CARTER, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. William Paul CARTER, Defendant-Petitioner, and James L. Sontag, Associate District Judge.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

December 5, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Shockley T. Shoemake, Pawhuska, for defendant-petitioner.

W.E. Maddux, Nowata, for plaintiff-respondent.


OPALA, Vice Chief Justice.

Defendant/petitioner (father) sought modification of a child support and custody decree. After he testified that he owed accrued child support payments, plaintiff/respondent (mother) moved to strike from the record his entire testimony because he did not come into court "with clean hands." She argued he "was not entitled to ... invoke the [trial court's] jurisdiction" to make child support and custody changes.1
