by Dowd, Jeffrey

 

AC45889 - Ostapowicz v. Wisniewski (Dissolution of Marriage, scope of remand order, "...[T]his court specifically directed the trial court to resolve the apparent inconsistency between the order regarding the home equity line of credit and the order regarding the payment of attorney’s fees. On remand, the trial court properly resolved this apparent inconsistency, concluding that each party was solely responsible for the payment of their respective attorney’s fees in excess of those that were paid to their attorneys via the home equity line of credit. ... Because the trial court properly resolved the apparent inconsistency between the two provisions, the trial court acted within the scope of this court’s remand order in Ostapowicz. The judgment is affirmed."
