Nancy Parson Hill (Bowron) v. Mark David Hill

Case Number
M2012-2699-COA-R3-CV

Mother sued Father for one-half of child’s college expenses based on the language of their Marital Dissolution Agreement’s parenting plan. Father defended based on the same language. The trial court found the language ambiguous and, based on all the circumstances, found that Father was required to pay one-half of the child’s college expenses at the University of Alabama. Father appealed. We do not find the language ambiguous, but agree with the trial court that the language requires Father to pay one-half of the expenses. We reverse the trial court’s denial of prejudgment interest and remand for a calculation of that interest.  We also award Mother attorney’s fees for this appeal and remand to the trial court for a calculation of those fees.
