Ulery v. Ulery 2013-Ohio-4951

Holding:

The Second Chance Act (Am.Sub.S.B. 337), which states that a court shall not find a parent to be voluntarily unemployed or underemployed for the purpose of imputing income for child support if he or she is serving a prison sentence of twelve months or more, does not contain a similar provision related to spousal support. The trial court did not err in refusing to apply this provision to spousal support. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to modify spousal support, where husband had income and assets sufficient to pay the obligation and had not demonstrated an unanticipated change of circumstances. Judgment affirmed.

Bottum v. Jankovic,
2013-Ohio-4914

In a child custody dispute, the trial court did not err in adopting an agreed parenting plan orally set forth on the record in open court. The agreement of the parties was evident on the record and in the best interest of the child.

Kehoe v. Kehoe, 2013-Ohio-4907

On remand following a prior appeal of a divorce decree the trial court did not abuse its discretion because it followed the mandate of the remand and reached an equitable result in its orders of spousal support and attorney fees. The trial court did not err in ordering husband to pay a larger portion of student loan debt incurred due to his significantly greater income compared to wife.
