ORDER 
 
On May 25, 2023, the Court remanded this matter to the Family Court “for 
the limited purpose of allowing the court to clarify what amount, if any, the 
[appellant] is obligated to reimburse the [appellee] for the trial testimony of Dr. 
Zingaro.”2  On remand, the Family Court allowed the parties to supplement the 
record and thereafter determined that the appellant is obligated to reimburse the 
appellee for $375, or one-half of Dr. Zingaro’s fee for testifying at trial, under the 
Family Court’s January 6, 2020 order addressing the allocation of expenses between 
the parties.  The record supports the Family Court’s decision. 
 
1 The Court previously assigned pseudonyms to the parties under Supreme Court Rule 7(d).

Court be AFFIRMED.
