VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice,
concurring specially.
[¶ 25] Priscilla Sauer did not raise in the district court the issue of Terry Son-nenberg’s failure to file a motion under N.D.R.Civ.P. 60(b) to retroactively modify child support. Ordinarily issues not raised below cannot be raised on appeal. Nevertheless, as the majority opinion notes, this Court’s judicial precedents hold that child support can be modified retroactively only by filing a 60(b) motion. Under the facts of this case had such a motion been filed, I would have affirmed the order of the trial *662court retroactively modifying the parties’ child support obligations.
[¶ 26] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C. J.
