Michael Charles Smallbone v. Jennifer Elizabeth Smallbone

As part of a divorce decree, the trial court fashioned a permanent parenting plan for three minor children.  The court’s plan provided for substantially equal parenting time and joint decision making for major decisions.  The plan was expressly conditioned on the parents remaining within the children’s current school district after the divorce.  The father argues that neither equal parenting time nor joint decision making were appropriate based on the evidence presented.  And he maintains that the court lacked authority to include a residency requirement in the plan.  He also contends that the court failed to address some of his claims.  We conclude that the court, either expressly or implicitly, resolved all claims between the parties.  And because the court did not abuse its discretion in establishing the parenting plan, we affirm.
