Syllabus

Spousal support, R.C. 3105.18, additional support, secured lien, R.C. 3105.171, equitable lien, corporate shares, separation agreement, contract interpretation, integrated agreement. In the direct appeal, the trial court correctly determined that the plain language of the separation agreement reflects the intent of the parties to encumber husband's stock with a secured lien of future support and equitable lien over current and future support. An equitable lien does not grant possession. Cross-appellant waived the issue of current ownership of the secured stock on appeal by failing to argue it in the trial court below.
