PER CURIAM Affirmed.
Nonprecedential Memo Op: 348 Or App 730 (2026) 731 PER CURIAM Husband appeals a judgment entered after a disso- lution trial that ordered property division, an equalization award to wife, child support to husband, and spousal sup- port to wife. On appeal, husband raises numerous assign- ments of error which challenge the trial court’s determi- nations on the property division, equalization award, and spousal support.
To find in husband’s favor, we would have to dis- avow the proceedings below because husband’s appellate presentation is based on a factual narrative that runs counter to the record and to the trial court’s expressed and implied findings. Husband did not request de novo review, and we are unpersuaded by counsel’s assertion at oral argu- ment that any of the trial court’s findings are contradicted by the record. Indeed, having reviewed the record in light of the correct standards of review, we find the trial court’s findings, legal reasoning, and ultimate decisions to be well- supported. We thus conclude that husband has not identified any reversible error on appeal.
Affirmed.
