Family Law Appellate Court Opinions

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC46535 - Jacob-Dick v. Dick ("The defendant, Charles H. Dick, appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the postjudgment motion for contempt filed by the self-represented plaintiff, Jennifer R. Jacob-Dick, known also as Jenna McPartland. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court (1) abused its discretion in finding him in contempt and (2) imposed an improper criminal sanction. We agree with the defendant’s first claim and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the trial court.")

AC47091 - L. K. v. K. K. ("In this marital dissolution action, the plaintiff, L. K., appeals from the trial court’s denial of her postjudgment motion for an order requiring the defendant, K. K., to pay the balance of attorney’s fees awarded as a part of the judgment of dissolution. The plaintiff claims that the court improperly denied her motion for order on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to provide the court with a new, court-ordered fee affidavit. The plaintiff argues that the fee affidavit was unnecessary, waived by the defendant, and impossible to obtain or recreate. We disagree and affirm the judgment of the court.")
