TOM GRAY, Chief Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
Someday, but apparently not today, we will quit re-lawyering cases for the parties. Michael’s first issue does not seek reformation to reflect the child support as contractual support rather than that which can be ordered for a legally recognized child of the payee of child support. I try to avoid deciding issues the parties have not presented or granting relief not requested. Thus, I concur in much of the opinion and judgment of the Court, but not the portion in which the Court goes off on its detour, reforming the judgment in a manner not presented to us for disposition, nor asked for as relief and, therefore, must dissent from those portions.
