GOVERNMENT OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS ex rel. Olga LARSEN, Appellant, v. Paul RUIZ, Appellee. Government of The Virgin Islands ex rel. Consylitha Walters, Appellant, v. Cy Todman, Appellee.

District Court, Virgin Islands, St. Croix Division, Appellate Division.

Filed: December 8, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Claude E. Walker, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., for Appellant.

Michael M. Lee, St. Croix, U.S.V.I., for Appellees.

Before: RAYMOND L. FINCH, Chief Judge, District Court of the Virgin Islands; THOMAS K. MOORE, Judge of the District Court of the Virgin Islands; and BRENDA J. HOLLAR, Territorial Court Judge, Division of St. Thomas, Sitting by Designation.


OPINION OF THE COURT

MOORE, District Judge.

In these consolidated appeals, the Government of the Virgin Islands argues that the Territorial Court misconstrued the "best interests of the child" standard and misapplied the payroll withholding rules of the Virgin Islands Code in vacating child support awards for Olga Larsen ["Larsen"] and Consylitha Walters ["Walters"], and remanding this matter to an administrative judge for further proceedings.
