Excerpt
This is an appeal from a divorce proceeding involving a short-term marriage with minor children. In conjunction with its divorce judgment, the trial court designated the mother as the primary residential parent, allowed her to relocate to Mississippi, and awarded her both transitional alimony and alimony in solido. Father now raises several issues for our review on appeal. While we affirm the trial court's judgment pertaining to the parties' parenting plan and its determination about the children's best interests, we vacate a component of the in solido award given to the mother in a purported attempt to equalize the division of the marital estate. We further vacate the award of transitional alimony and remand the case for that issue to be reconsidered by the trial court. The balance of the judgment is affirmed. The mother's request for an award of attorney's fees on appeal is granted.
