## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- finding "[w]hen a trial court indicates that it has reviewed the appropriate statutory factors, there is a strong presumption that the factors were indeed considered"
- noting that "when the amount of time and work spent on the case by the attorney is evident, an award of attorney fees, even in the absence of specific -9- Butler CA2013-03-032 evidence, is not an abuse of discretion"
- finding financial misconduct where account liquidated "just prior to the parties' divorce"
- rejecting manifest weight challenge to trial court’s financial misconduct finding because the trial court could hear testimony and discount it

## Opinion text

*437
Baird, Presiding Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Since the trial court specifically based its award of attorney fees upon an affidavit improperly filed after trial, I would reverse that award.
I concur in the balance of the majority opinion.
