This appeal involves a long-running dispute between unmarried parents over parenting issues concerning their young son. After years of contentious and continuous litigation and eight days of trial, the trial court found the father in criminal contempt and modified the parties’ existing parenting arrangement to reduce the father’s parenting time somewhat and to grant the mother sole decision-making authority for major decisions. The trial court imputed income to the father for purposes of child support and awarded current and retroactive child support. The trial court also awarded the mother a portion of her attorney’s fees. The father appeals, challenging each of these rulings. We vacate the trial court’s imputation of income and child support awards and remand for additional findings regarding Father’s income, but we otherwise affirm the trial court on all other issues.
