NASH v. MULLE
Supreme Court of Tennessee, at Nashville (1993) | 846 S.W.2d 803
TL;DR: A high-income father's child support obligation is not capped by state guidelines. The court can order support above the presumptive maximum and require funding a trust for the child's future college education, even if benefits are realized after the child reaches the age of majority.
Legal Significance: Established that for high-income obligors, child support is discretionary above the guideline's presumptive income cap. Affirmed that courts may order the creation of educational trusts funded during a child's minority for post-majority expenses, ensuring the child benefits from the parent's high standard of living.
