Syllabus

Civil contempt show cause attorney fees fines purge agreed judgment entry contract interpretation. Trial court properly found Mother in contempt of court for unreasonably withholding parenting time from Father after Father completed a ten-panel drug test required for unsupervised visitation even though one of the results of the test was delayed. Trial court properly required Mother to reimburse Father for the cost of an unnecessary ten-panel toenail test since the test was unnecessary and Mother required it before she would release the child to the Father for visitation. Trial court properly denied Father's request for attorney fees where Father failed to demonstrate the reasonableness of the fees with an itemized statement and evidence of the parties' respective incomes.
