## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- recognizing that Act of June 9, 1983, ch. 308, § 17, 1983 Minn. Laws 1748, 1757-59, and its subsequent revision by Act of April 25, 1984, ch. 547, § 16, 1984 Minn. Laws 933, 938, required application of the child support guidelines in all cases, not just those involving public…
- stating, in child-support context, that “[w]hile the record may support a trial court’s decision, it is nevertheless inadequate if that record fails to reveal that the trial court actually considered the appropriate factors”
- holding that a reversal based on abuse of discretion requires “a clearly erroneous conclusion that is against logic and the facts on record”
- holding it improper to independently review the record to find support for a trial court’s decision, so long as it is unclear whether the trial court considered statutory factors
