J. Jenkins finds that the trial court properly found an ex-husband in contempt for not following the parties’ community property settlement agreement and did not err in awarding the ex-wife $39,000 from the husband’s retirement account, per the parties’ community property settlement. In this case, the man was aware he was required to leave $198,000 in the account as the amount due to his former wife. Therefore, his withdrawals were in violation of the settlement agreement and constitute contempt of court. Affirmed.

All aspects of the agreement were met and the party's motion for a finding of contempt is denied. Affirmed.

J. Gruber finds the circuit court properly denied the ex-wife’s request that her ex-husband be held in contempt for nonpayment to her from his military retirement or disability payments according to the couple’s divorce decree. The wife cited cases where the court enforced agreements without contempt findings, and she chose to settle instead of pursuing a court decision. Because the circuit court denied her motion for contempt, there was no ruling on how the decree should be interpreted and enforced. Affirmed.

J. Klappenbach finds the circuit court properly held the construction company in contempt in this suit brought by the trucking company asserting a claim for specific performance related to an agreement to sell real property. The court found that the trucking company was entitled to specific performance, ordering the construction company to convey the “missing land” per the terms of the contract. The trucking company failed to deliver the required warranty deed and an affidavit of heirship and argues that they did not willfully violate the order being that their compliance was outside of their independent control. They show no evidence to demonstrate this. Affirmed.
