Heading: Child Support and Visitation

Text: The magistrate clarified the divorce decree by ordering William to pay the monthly child support payment in one lump sum on the first of each month rather than every two weeks, and in so doing did not abuse his discretion. Our review of the record satisfies us that William was substantially current in his child support obligation although he had made several late payments. The record demonstrates that William thought that he had an agreement with Teresa whereby he could pay his child support in two monthly installments because he received his employment paycheck every two weeks. The magistrate declined to find William delinquent or in arrears on child support and did not find him in contempt. In this we find no error. Likewise, the magistrate's finding that Teresa denied William visitation is supported by substantial and competent evidence in the record and will not be disturbed on appeal.
