The trial court's judgment entry of divorce was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. The trial court failed to independently review the magistrate's decision on the issues of child support and attorney fees. Therefore, those matters were reversed and remanded for the trial court to independently review. The trial court's judgment was also reversed with respect to husband's unused sick and vacation time and the temporary orders. Regarding husband's unused sick and vacation time, the trial court applied the wrong standard. With respect to the temporary orders, the trial court improperly concluded that issues were moot. However, the trial court's judgment was affirmed regarding the marital residence, husband's retirement benefits, marital debt, husband's bank accounts, and a 529 college account.
