Syllabus
The trial court's decision to impute $216,000 of annual income to appellant for purposes of calculating appellant's child support obligation was contrary to law in violation of R.C. 3119.05(J), which prohibits a trial court from determining that an incarcerated parent is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed and from imputing income to that parent. Moreover, even if the trial court's decision had not been in violation of R.C. 3119.05(J), the decision constituted an abuse of discretion because there is nothing in the record indicating that the trial court considered any of the factors under R.C. 3119.01(C)(17)(a) when determining the amount of income to impute to appellant. The portion of the judgment awarding legal custody to stepmother is not challenged on appeal. Judgment affirmed in part and vacated in part.
