Syllabus

Dissolution, shared parenting plan, separation agreement, R.C. 3105.73, post-decree attorney fees, guardian ad litem fees, children's attorney fees, R.C. Chapter 3119, child support. Interpretation of the separation agreement and shared parenting agreement incorporated into the dissolution of marriage is a matter of contract. Evidence of withdrawal receipts from automated teller machines with handwritten notations indicating the alleged expenditure for which the withdrawal was made is insufficient to demonstrate that the expenses were actually incurred and remitted. The trial court had broad discretion to determine entitlement to post-decree attorney fees in spite of an income disparity. The trial court is given considerable discretion in allocating guardian ad litem fees and the children's attorney fees based on which party caused the need for the services. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in calculating child support and has broad discretion in computing child support where the parents' combined income is greater than $150,000, and the credibility of the complaining spouse may be considered by the trial court in reaching a determination.
