Olly Neal, Judge,

¶1dissenting. I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion reversing this case because I believe that under the facts of this case the trial court’s interpretation of Section 12 of the parties’ “Property, Child Custody, and Support Agreement” was not clearly erroneous. Appellee estimated that Hay-ley’s tuition at Johnson and Wales University was $18,000 per year and that her rent was $1,000 per month. The trial court, therefore, ordered appellee to pay $1,500 per month towards Hayley’s educational expenses. This amount equals $18,000 per year. Appellant’s testimony established that Hayley received scholarships and grants to attend Johnson and Wales. The scholarships and grants surely reduced the total cost of Hayley’s education. Therefore, under the facts of this case, I believe that the trial court’s decision was not clearly erroneous, and I would affirm.

¶2I am authorized to state that Judge Crabtree joins in this dissent.
