JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Standing to enforce arrearage judgment.

- Habeas court erred by denying a mother's motion for a new trial following an order discharging the payment of restitution and child support arrearage to her by the purported biological father of her minor child because the judgment discharging the payment of the pre-existing arrearage was a judgment against her, making her a party to the action and directly aggrieved to have standing to challenge the judgment.
