Description
Hollander, the legal guardian of Capon's four children, brought suit to enforce a child support agreement. Capon counterclaimed for breach of contract. The jury awarded Hollander $99,671.59 in damages; $58,198 in attorney's fees; $10,000 for this appeal, $10,000 for appeal to the supreme court; and $10,000 if the supreme court granted writ of error. Since the jury found the agreement was breached on a date outside the four-year limitations period, the trial court reduced actual damages to $7,035, the damages the jury found to have accrued within the limitations period. The judge set prejudgment interest at six percent per annum and awarded attorney's fees.
