Before VALIHURA, TRAYNOR, and LEGROW, Justices.

                                           ORDER

         On May 25, 2023, the Court remanded this matter to the Family Court “for

the limited purpose of allowing the court to clarify what amount, if any, the

[appellant] is obligated to reimburse the [appellee] for the trial testimony of Dr.

Zingaro.”2 On remand, the Family Court allowed the parties to supplement the

record and thereafter determined that the appellant is obligated to reimburse the

appellee for $375, or one-half of Dr. Zingaro’s fee for testifying at trial, under the

Family Court’s January 6, 2020 order addressing the allocation of expenses between

the parties. The record supports the Family Court’s decision.
