01-2651 In Re the Paternity of Lukas A.F.: State, et al. v. James R.K.

By: dmc-admin//July 1, 2002//

Listen to this article

James R.K. appeals from an order determining that he owes over $46,000 in past child support. He argues that because two previous paternity actions were dismissed, this action is barred by operation of Wis. Stat. sec. 805.04(1) (1999-2000). He also claims that the trial court failed to consider the equities of the case in refusing to deviate from the percentage guidelines for support. We conclude that the action was not barred by the previous dismissals and that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in determining that application of the percentage guidelines was not unfair.

We affirm the order.

This opinion will not be published.
