Heading: termination of keith's child support obligation

Text: Having determined that the trial court had the power to modify Keith's child support obligation, we must finally decide whether the court abused its discretion in completely eliminating his support obligation when he was awarded custody. Even though Judy had limited resources and a hardship may have been imposed on her to provide meals to the children when they visited her, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by terminating Keith's support obligation. This court will not disturb a trial court's award of child support unless there has been an abuse of discretion. Straub v. Straub, 381 N.W.2d 260 (S.D.1986); Hoy v. Hoy, 391 N.W.2d 685 (S.D.1986). The trial court's order is affirmed. Judy's request for attorney's fees on appeal is denied. MORGAN, J., concurs. HENDERSON, J., concurs specially. SABERS, J., concurs in part and dissents in part. MILLER, J., disqualified.
