Facts

H and Cynthia (W) were married in 1988. Three daughters were born. In November 2005, they separated and filed for dissolution of the marriage. A decree of dissolution was granted on December 4, 2006. In a property settlement agreement, H agreed to provide w with $6,000 per month in child support for their three daughters. When the oldest daughter turned 18, W made a motion, which among other things, included a request for modification of child support. An order was entered on July 6, 2010, wherein the family court ordered that H's monthly child support payment remain at $6,000 per month. In June 2012, H moved for a modification of child support because the second daughter would turn eighteen in July 2012, and he would only be responsible for child support for one child. The court entered an order modifying child support on October 17, 2012. This order reduced the child support monthly payment from $6,000 to $5,800. H eventually appealed.
