Syllabus

Based upon the parties' income disparity, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it designated appellant as the child support obligor. The trial court did not err when it overruled appellant's objection requesting a downward deviation in his support obligation for the parties' two youngest children. The trial court's decision adopting a thirty-five per cent child support deviation for the parties' oldest child was reasonable and supported by the record. Lastly, the trial court failed to include the mandatory elements outlined in R.C. 3119.23 in its judgment entry adopting the magistrate's decision. Accordingly, this matter is remanded so that the trial court may include in its judgment entry the original annual obligation from line 23 of the child support worksheet, the deviation amount, and the actual obligation amount after the deviation is deducted. In all other respects, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
