Syllabus

Civil contempt; clear and convincing evidence; prima facie case; valid court order; knowledge of the order; violation of the order; abuse of discretion; agreed judgment entry; shared-parenting plan; intent of parties; order is subject to more than one reasonable interpretation; ambiguous. The trial court abused its discretion in finding Father in contempt for home-schooling the children because the language in the agreed judgment entry was ambiguous, and thus, there was not clear and convincing evidence that he had violated the court's order.
