Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Swiney finds the lower court properly ordered timely payment of alimony to a husband, but improperly found a wife in contempt. Because the wife failed to make timely alimony payments to the husband, the lower court ordered the bi-weekly payments must be made by 4:45 p.m.; the instant court finds the order to be within the boundaries of the parties Marital Dissolution Agreement (MDA). The husband also alleges that the wife made multiple violations of the MDA and should be held in contempt, and the lower court agreed. But the instant court finds the husband was, or should have been aware of the alleged violations, as they occurred prior to the parties voluntarily entering into the MDA. Because the MDA effectively resolved the issues, the wife is not in contempt. Reversed in part.
