Child Hostility and Child Support

Yesterday, the Mississippi Supreme Court decided Copeland v. Copeland located here.  The issue in the case is when does the hostility of a child warrant child support being forfeited?  The Court ruled that when the conduct is clear and extreme, it warrants termination even for teenagers.  The Court further found that when the trial court finds this conduct, the child support guidelines are not applicable.
