Buchanan v. Buchanangreen
mass · 1967 · cited in 1 Massachusetts opinions naming this issue, 1992–1992
1 sentence

1992The broad discretion historically accorded trial judges in actions to modify child support orders, see Buchanan v. Buchanan, 353 Mass. 351, 352 (1967), amply permits the consideration and balancing of all relevant factors in the application of the principle of attribution of income. 8 To the extent, therefore, that the judge’s preliminary finding may have rendered the guidelines inapplicable, existing law did not prevent his considering Joan’s earning capacity in fashioning the child support order, notwithstanding that she was living at home with a child of a subsequent marriage.
