Wong v. Hawk green

2017Teele’s interpretation of section 2107 therefore runs contrary to the salutary principle of statutory construction that “[w]ords in a statute must be given meaning and not treated as meaningless and superfluous.” Wong, 2012 ME 125, ¶ 8 , 55 A.3d 425 (quotation marks omitted). [¶ 13] We therefore conclude that the court did not err by determining that a credit for dependent benefits applies only “to the extent it is identified” in the child support order applicable to the period of benefit entitlement.
