Description

The primary question to be resolved in this case is whether it was an abuse of discretion for the trial court to award initial child support of $200 per month for each of two minor children, which amount was to be increased to $250 per month after three months and to $300 per month two months later, in light of the decision of the father to return to college to train for a career different from the one he had been pursuing immediately prior to the divorce. Additional questions are presented with respect to whether the trial court committed an abuse of discretion in refusing to receive into evidence a diary kept by the father; in terminating the appointment of a guardian ad litem; and in defining the visitation rights for the father. The father urged that the amount of child support should have been determined by the amount of his earnings while he was pursuing his education for a different career; the appointment of a guardian ad litem should have been continued even though the children were residing in another state and no meaningful communication was occurring between them and the guardian ad litem; the court should have permitted the introduction into evidence of a diary the father kept during his visitation periods that incorporated comments by the children; and the court erred in apparently preferring the interests of the children over those of the non-custodial parent in setting visitation privileges. We find no abuse of discretion in the Judgment and Decree entered by the trial court, and it is affirmed.
