ROCHESTER v. ROCHESTER

No. 18437.

961 P.2d 794 (1998)

125 N.M. 369

1998-NMCA-100

Louis Paul ROCHESTER, Petitioner-Appellant, v. June Elizabeth ROCHESTER, Respondent-Appellee.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico.

June 11, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lloyd O. Bates, Jr., Bates Law Firm, Las Cruces, for Appellant.

Jon A. Feder, Atkinson & Kelsey, P.A., Albuquerque, for Appellee.

OPINION

HARTZ, Chief Judge.

{1} Lump-sum child support to cover future child support obligations is unusual, if not rare, in New Mexico. This appeal illustrates why that should remain the case. We affirm the district court's ruling that Louis Paul Rochester (Father) is not entitled to any credit from June Elizabeth Rochester (Mother) for prepaid lump-sum child support despite the transfer of custody of their child (Child) from Mother to Father.
