Syllabus

Civ.R. 60(B) motion for relief from judgment standard of review necessity of hearing. A motion for relief from judgment is not a substitute for appeal. Domestic relations court did not abuse its discretion by denying without hearing spouse's motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Civ.R. 60(B) seeking to vacate a dissolution. Spouse raised issues that were capable of review on appeal, and a motion for relief for judgment is not a substitute for an appeal. Further, spouse's claims that he was uncounseled or ignorant of the law did not merit consideration for relief from judgment, nor did his conclusory claim he was subject to overreaching or an unequal bargaining position because he was aware of all the facts, circumstances, and terms of the separation agreement.
