Hansen v. Hansen
Annotate this CaseAt issue in this case was a support order that required Petitioner Steven Hansen to pay child support to his ex-wife. Petitioner subsequently sought to redirect his support payments to a homeless shelter where the child resided for a period of time. The district court declined to order redirection of child support to the shelter, concluding that the support statute did not allow for payments to be redirected. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because the homeless shelter was not a party to the proceedings and was legally ineligible to become the child's physical custodian in any event, the district court properly denied Petitioner's motion to redirect child support.
