Third District Reverses Support Award Made without Affidavit

The Third District Court this week reviewed the case of Palewsky v. D.O.R., ex rel Miller.  In so doing, the they reviewed a case where the lower tribunal had determined paternity and awarded child support without a financial affidavit in the record from the mother.  The Department argued that this was harmless error, but the Third District found that the absence of the affidavit was not harmless, and was forced to reverse the award.
