Text: [¶2] The following facts are viewed in the light most favorable to the court’s judgment. See Sloan v. Christianson, 2012 ME 72, ¶ 2, 43 A.3d 978. Jennifer and Michael were married in May 2003 and are the parents of three minor children born between 2004 and 2008. Jennifer filed a complaint for divorce in December 2012. After a two-day hearing, the court entered a divorce judgment on March 31, 2014, that granted Jennifer sole parental rights and responsibilities for the children and allowed Michael rights of contact for up to three hours every other week, which, at Jennifer’s election, will be either supervised by a responsible adult that Jennifer selects or held at a licensed or certified child visitation center. The court also awarded Jennifer $3,263 in child support arrearages. The court set aside Michael’s entire Shaw’s retirement account to Jennifer in lieu of spousal support,1 and set aside to Jennifer certain items of property that it determined belonged to Jennifer or to the parties’ minor children as nonmarital property. The court awarded a vehicle to each party, and the remaining items of marital personalty were awarded to the party who possessed them at the time of the divorce. Finally, the court ordered Michael to pay Jennifer’s reasonable attorney fees. 1 The court initially awarded Jennifer Michael’s retirement account from his employment at Hannaford but, in response to one of Michael’s post-judgment motions, corrected that provision to refer to the Shaw’s retirement account. 3 [¶3] Michael filed a timely motion for findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 52 (Tower 2013), requesting that the court further address the awards of spousal support, nonmarital personal property, certain items of marital personalty, and attorney fees. On June 11, 2014, the court summarily denied Michael’s motion and ordered Michael to pay Jennifer $10,000 for her attorney fees. Michael appeals the court’s judgment and subsequent order.
