¶2At the time of the hearing in this matter and at the time the trial court entered its September 21, 2001, judgment, the father was paying $74 per month for health insurance for the parties' child. In his October 12, 2001, postjudgment motion, the father, among other things, asserted that the cost of providing health insurance benefits was $313 per month2; the father submitted no evidence in support of his assertion that he was paying that amount to provide health-insurance coverage for the parties' child. Because the father was paying only $74 per month for health insurance at the time of the hearing and at the time the trial court entered its judgment, the trial court could have determined that the father's claim that his cost for health insurance was going to increase was too speculative to include in its determination of the father's child-support obligation. I conclude that the evidence before the trial court at the time it entered its judgment, and during the time the father's postjudgment motion was pending in the trial court, supported the trial court's decision to calculate the father's child-support obligation pursuant to Rule 32, Ala.R.Jud.Admin., by including in its calculation health-insurance costs of $74 per month. Therefore I dissent from that part of the main opinion that reverses the trial court's child-support determination on that basis. I concur in all other parts of the main opinion.
¶5I must respectfully dissent. The parties failed to comply with the requirements of Rule 32(E), Ala.R.Jud.Admin., and the well-established mandate regarding the filing of standardized child-support guidelines forms and child-support obligation income statement/affidavit forms, as set out in Martin v. Martin, 637 So.2d 901 (Ala.Civ.App. 1994).
¶6I recognize, as the main opinion notes, that this court is "authorized to affirm the trial court's judgment if the record `clearly indicat[es] that the award comports with the evidence regarding the parties' incomes' and that the trial court adhered to the guidelines." (Quoting Mosley v. Mosley, 747 So.2d 894, 898 (Ala.Civ.App. 1999).) However, in this case, I conclude that the judgment of the trial court fails to "comport with the evidence" regarding the father's income. Therefore, I would reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case. *963
