1. “"The trial court based its $200 per month reduction in the father's child-support obligation solely on the new evidence the father presented in his income affidavit; it did not afford the mother an opportunity to dispute that evidence. We find that the trial court should have conducted a hearing. See Martin v. Martin , 637 So.2d 901 , 903 (Ala. Civ. App. 1994) ('[I]f one party's statement of income form is disputed by the other party, then that issue can be resolved by competent evidence at the trial court level.'). Given the particular facts of this case, we cannot conclude that the trial court's failure to conduct the requested Rule 59, Ala. R. Civ. P., hearing before altering the father's child-support obligation based on new evidence was harmless error. Therefore, we must reverse as to this issue."”

2. ““The trial court may consider a parent’s adultery in determining custody; however, ‘acts of adultery do not bar an award of custody to the party who committed adultery. Etheridge v. Etheridge, 375 So.2d 474, 475 (Ala.Civ.App.1979). Rather, in order to deprive a parent of custody because of his or her act of adultery, there must be evidence that the adultery had a ‘direct bearing upon the welfare of [the] children.’ Hearold v. Hearold, 620 So.2d 48, 49 (Ala.Civ.App.1993).””
