Excerpt

The trial court's award of sole custody to Mr. Mahbub was against the manifest weight of the evidence as there was no competent, credible evidence to support such a determination. Pursuant to App.R. 12(C), we award sole custody and residential parent for school purposes to Ms. Son. The trial court also abused its discretion by designating Ms. Son as the obligor for child support purposes. Judgment reversed; cause remanded with instructions.

What This Ruling Means

**What happened:** This case appears to involve a family law dispute rather than an employment law matter, despite being categorized as employment law. The case was between Mr. Mahbub and Ms. Son regarding child custody and support arrangements. A trial court had originally awarded sole custody to Mr. Mahbub and required Ms. Son to pay child support. **What the court decided:** The appeals court found that the trial court made significant errors. They determined there wasn't enough reliable evidence to support giving Mr. Mahbub sole custody. Instead, the appeals court awarded sole custody and school residency rights to Ms. Son. The court also ruled that requiring Ms. Son to pay child support was wrong. The appeals court reversed the original decision and sent the case back to the trial court with specific instructions. **Why this matters for workers:** Based on the information provided, this case doesn't appear to directly impact workers' employment rights. The dispute centers on family law issues like custody and child support rather than workplace matters such as wages, discrimination, or working conditions. Workers looking for employment law guidance should focus on cases that specifically address workplace disputes and employee rights.
