Description
Husband appeals a post divorce order crediting him with $714.58 against child support and alimony arrearages. Husband contends that the amount of the credit, which represents his community share of a settlement wife received for medical expenses, should be larger. The final decree of divorce entered by the court ordered that any recovery obtained by wife resulting from her claim for toxic shock syndrome would be her separate property, except that portion which was directly attributable to past medical expenses, loss of services to the community and loss of earnings, up to the time of the divorce, which amounts were deemed community property and should be divided equally between husband and wife. On appeal, both parties have assumed that the evidence necessary to support their respective claims is evidence as to the total amount of medical expenses incurred by the community. The appellate issue, however, is not what the total medical expenses were, but what portion of the wife's settlement was directly attributable to medical expenses. We reverse the trial court and remand for further proceedings.
