Description
Opinion by Judge Kelly Alvin Ray Hughes appeals a trial court order modifying the decree of dissolution of marriage by increasing child support from $100 to $250 per month. He contends that the trial court lacked evidence of a change in circumstances sufficient to find the original order unconscionable under § 14-10-122(1), C.R.S. 1973. We vacate the order. When the marriage was dissolved in 1972, the father was earning between $30,000 and $40,000 per year, and the mother was temporarily unemployed. The decree divided their real estate, awarded $100 per month in child support to the mother, and provided for various other payments to her. The father subsequently married the owner of a beauty supplies business, who loaned him money to pay debts he had reaffirmed during his 1974 bankruptcy proceedings. Since then, he has worked full time for his wife, receiving all his living expenses and an $800 per month expense account.
