Sarah May (Childers) (Harrison) Anderson, v. William Travis Harrison, Sr.

Case Number
02A01-9805-GS-00132

Plaintiff Sarah May Anderson appeals the trial court’s order enforcing the final divorce decree which was previously entered by the court in December 1981. The trial court enforced the decree’s provision relative to the division of the parties’ former marital home by requiring Defendant/Appellee William Travis Harrison, Sr., to pay to the Plaintiff the sum of $12,084.36 for her interest in the property. The trial court enforced the decree’s provision requiring the Defendant to pay a reasonable amount of child support to the Plaintiff by ordering the Defendant to pay to the Plaintiff the sum of $2250 for nine months of child support; however, the court ruledthat all other claims for child support were barred by the ten-year statute of limitations applicable to actions on judgments and decrees. Based on our conclusion that both of these rulings were in error, we modify in part, affirm in part, and reverse in part the trial court’s judgment.
