Disposition

Reasons

  • GARCIA, Judge, with VIGIL and VANZI, Judges concurring, held that:
    Regarding the Socorro Property: The district court did not err in its conclusion that Petitioner had constructive notice of the tax liens on the property awarded to her in the MSA. The court found substantial evidence supporting this decision, noting that the liens were recorded during the marriage and Petitioner was aware of other tax issues (paras 5-9).
    Regarding Child Support: The district court did not abuse its discretion in modifying Respondent's child support obligation. This decision was based on a substantial change in circumstances following the parties' agreement to modify the custody arrangement, which was found to justify the modification of child support in accordance with statutory guidelines (paras 10-12).
