Syllabus

The juvenile court abused its discretion in part by not giving support for its reason to deny appellant a downward deviation given appellant's increased parenting time. However, the juvenile court did not err in giving appellee a childcare credit for time the child spends in preschool. The juvenile court abused its discretion by ordering appellant to provide insurance coverage for the child when there was no evidence submitted that such costs were reasonable. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in naming appellee residential parents instead of ordering shared parenting where the juvenile court properly weighed the factors and determined that shared parenting was not in the best interest of the child. However, appellee had provided the majority of care to the child and the child was well adjusted in her home. The trial court abused its discretion by not designating the way in which the child tax credit would be allocated.
