2006Although we generally review child support orders for abuse of discretion, see Slaughter v. Slaughter, 867 A.2d 976, 977 (D.C.2005), this case involves the application of a legal principle and so our review is de novo.

1989There is no one standard of review that is uniformly applied to “mixed ques *36 tions.” Rather, mixed questions are “assigned, sometimes clumsily, either to the ‘clearly erroneous’ or to the ‘de novo’ category, depending, ostensibly, on whether the reviewing court regards the matter as more closely resembling a question of fact or a question of law.” Felder, supra, 548 A.2d at 61 .
