Syllabus

R.C. 3119.01 – R.C. 3119.02 – R.C. 3119.05(I)(3) – R.C. 3119.22 – CHILD SUPPORT – ABUSE OF DISCRETION – VOLUNTARY UNDEREMPLOYMENT – IMPUTED INCOME – DEVIATION – MULTIPLE CHANGES OF CIRCUMSTANCES: The trial court did not abuse its discretion in modifying father's child-support obligation where the trial court's finding of voluntary underemployment was supported by the record as the evidence failed to establish that father made \continuous and diligent\ efforts to find and accept employment, and where the trial court's imputation of income was supported by the record as the evidence established that father was capable of obtaining a position at the amount of income imputed to him by the trial court. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in failing to grant a deviation to the child-support obligation computed in the applicable worksheet where R.C. 3119.22 creates no obligation on the trial court to grant such a deviation. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by entering one child-support order in response to two submitted changes of circumstances where the court ultimately determined father's income to be the same during both periods.
