Domestic Relations-Child Support-Contempt
Staff Report//April 22, 2026//
Defendant appealed the trial court’s judgment and order of contempt finding defendant in contempt for violating a previous order directing defendant to pay plaintiff for college expenses and attorney’s fees.
Where the judgment of contempt had not been enforced, it was not a final appealable judgment and thus the court lacked jurisdiction to consider defendant’s appeal.
Appeal is dismissed.
