Syllabus

Child support deviation R.C. 3119.23 abuse of discretion findings of fact and conclusions of law court costs. The juvenile court's decision to grant Father's objection to the administrative order of child support, in part, to grant Mother's motion for past care, in part, and to deny Father's motion for child support was not an abuse of discretion. The court considered the relevant statutory factors and law, as well as the testimony and evidence presented by the parties, including the parties' income disparity and Father's increased parenting time. The juvenile court did not err in failing to provide findings of fact and conclusions of law. The court's opinion, the transcripts, and the App.R. 9(C) statement of evidence provided an adequate basis upon which to review the issues upon appeal. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Father to pay one-half the court costs where both Mother and Father prevailed on their motions to some extent.
