Syllabus

DIVORCE – CUSTODY – SHARED PARENTING: The trial court did not err in failing to conduct an in camera interview of the parties' eldest child prior to modifying the terms of the parties' shared-parenting plan to designate mother as the residential parent for school purposes: the trial court's decision was governed by R.C. 3109.04(E)(2)(b), and the in camera interview requirement in R.C. 3109.04(B)(1) did not apply. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in modifying the parties' shared-parenting plan to designate mother as the residential parent for purposes of the children's schooling: father and mother clearly could not agree on where to send their children to school both parents did not want their eldest child to attend the high school in father's district of residence mother's new job would allow her more time to be involved with her children's schooling and father was unemployed at the time of trial, and so his work schedule was unknown.
