THOMPSON v. THOMPSON

No. 4-782A187.

458 N.E.2d 298 (1984)

Harry R. THOMPSON, Appellant (Respondent below), v. Mable L. THOMPSON, Appellee (Petitioner below).

Court of Appeals of Indiana, Fourth District.

January 12, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dean S. Eveland, Kenneth C. Kern and Associates, Indianapolis, for appellant.

Mary B. Goss, Washington, for appellee.

YOUNG, Judge.

Mable L. Thompson initiated this contempt action against Harry R. Thompson, seeking to enforce an earlier decree entered on the dissolution of the parties' marriage. The trial court found Harry in contempt and entered judgment accordingly. Harry appeals, raising several issues. Because we find that the court's order exceeded the scope of its contempt power, however, we need only address the proper use of contempt in enforcing dissolution decrees.
