Syllabus

Civ.R. 56 summary judgment de novo shared parenting plan contract interpretation intent. Judgment affirmed. The trial court properly granted Mother's motion for summary judgment. Under a plain reading of the shared parenting agreement, the parties agreed to raise J.M.P. in the Catholic religion, with Mother having the option to send J.M.P. to St. Paschal, and if Mother decides to do so, Father will pay one half of J.M.P.'s tuition at St. Paschal. This language clearly demonstrates that the parties intended to raise their child in the Catholic religion and contemplated sending him to Catholic school, and Mother, as the sole residential parent for school purposes, decides where J.M.P. is enrolled in school.
