Description
Ramon P. Goheen brought suit for the voluntary legitimation of a child, Mallory Jordan Boteler, and for appointment as possessory conservator with rights of visitation. Lisa Boteler Koester, the mother of Mallory, and her husband, Gary Koester, responded seeking termination of Ramons parental rights and for adoption of Mallory by Gary. Both Ramon and Lisa appeal the trial courts order which establishes Ramons parental rights, grants supervised visitation for a limited time to be followed by unsupervised visitation, refuses to terminate Ramons parental rights, makes Lisa the sole managing conservator, grants child support retroactive to the date of the filing of the original petition, grants future child support of $450.00 per month, and requires that Ramon pay Lisas attorney fees of $5,000.00. Ramon appeals that portion of the trial courts order which grants Lisa attorney fees. Lisa appeals that portion of the trial courts order that failed to grant child support retroactive to the date of Mallorys birth. We reverse that portion of the judgment which awards Lisa attorney fees and remand the cause to the trial court for a determination of the proper amount of attorney fees allocable to the representation of Lisa. We also reverse that portion of the trial courts judgment which failed to grant Lisa child support retroactive to the date of birth. In all other respects the trial courts judgment is affirmed.
