Rhonda Ford v. Jon D. Ford

Summary

The court held that Rhonda Ford’s appeal was timely because the custody ruling was final and appealable under the custody exception, while the unresolved property issues made the divorce decree intermediate as to the remaining matters. It affirmed the chancellor’s decisions awarding custody to Jon, limiting visitation, including nonperiodic payments in Rhonda’s child-support income, and making support retroactive to June 1999. The court concluded that the chancellor’s factual findings and discretionary decisions were not clearly erroneous or an abuse of discretion.
