Syllabus

This is an appeal from the trial court's order that: (1) designated Father/Appellee as primary residential parent (2) awarded him sole decision-making authority and (3) set visitation. Mother/Appellant appeals: (1) the designation of Father as primary residential parent (2) the award of sole decision-making authority to Father and (3) her number of parenting days with the child. Because the trial court failed to make any findings regarding decision-making authority, we vacate the trial court's award of sole decision-making authority to Father and remand for findings of facts and conclusions of law related to same. We also conclude that the trial court abused its discretion when it failed to maximize Mother's parenting time with the child. Therefore, we reverse the trial court's visitation award and remand for a more equal award of parenting time. Finally, we reverse the trial court's order concerning child support and remand for a recalculation of support consistent with the new parenting schedule entered on remand. The trial court's order is otherwise affirmed.
