Syllabus

Wife's appeal from decree of divorce and property division. Trial court's failure to make required findings of fact and conclusions of law to support equitable property division as required by R.C. 3105.171(G) was error, and accordingly trial court's decisions dividing property and declining to award spousal support are reversed and remanded for further consideration. Wife's assignments of error challenging court's denial of request for continuance, having allegedly had ex parte conversations with wife's previously-withdrawn counsel, adoption of a de facto termination date for marriage, use of appraisal for valuation of marital home, failure to order sale of the marital home, valuation of husband's closely-held limited-liability company, and failure to include depreciation of value of L.L.C. property as income to husband overruled.
