The trial court properly classified and divided most marital and separate property, including the marital residence, Schwab account, and retirement accounts. The court erred in classifying a nonprofit corporation organized under R.C. Ch. 1702 as marital property. The denial of spousal support, division of lump-sum Social Security derivative payment, imputation of income, attorney fee rulings, and rejection of financial misconduct claims were upheld. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for proceedings consistent with the opinion.
