Gerdes v. Gerdes
Citations
- 2020 Ohio 3405
Syllabus
The domestic relations court's decision denying appellant's various post-decree motions requesting certain modifications be made to the parties' final divorce decree required the matter be reversed for further proceedings because the domestic relations decision lacked a clear indication of its underlying reasoning and analysis, thereby depriving the appellate court the ability to conduct a meaningful appellate review to determine whether the domestic relations court abused its discretion in denying appellant's motions.
