Westley Murel Hall v. Megan Leigh Hall

Syllabus

In this post-divorce action, the trial court conducted a hearing with respect to the mother's request to relocate to Ohio with the parties' minor child, a request which the father opposed. Following a bench trial, the trial court entered an order permitting relocation and modifying the parties' permanent parenting plan to provide the father with more co-parenting time. The trial court also granted an award of attorney's fees to the mother. The father has appealed. Based on the trial court's failure to render sufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning its award of attorney's fees to the mother, we vacate the attorney's fee award and remand the case to the trial court for entry of an order containing written findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning the basis for its decision to award attorney's fees to the mother and the reasonableness of the amount awarded. The trial court's judgment is affirmed in all other respects.
