More About Spousal SupportIn a case remanded from the Court of Appeals, Attorney Thomas Erb successfully argued that all the child support issues involved were res judicata, meaning they cannot be litigated more than once if it has already been definitively resolved by a prior judgment. By applying this principle, Erb Legal ensured that the matters in question were recognized as previously settled.
