MATHER v. MATHER

No. 834DC718.

318 S.E.2d 548 (1984)

Juanita P. MATHER v. Wendell C. MATHER.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

August 21, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gene B. Gurganus, Jacksonville, for plaintiff-appellant.

Ellis, Hooper, Warlick, Waters & Morgan, by Lana S. Warlick, Jacksonville, for defendant-appellee.

WEBB, Judge.

This appeal involves in part a contempt citation. Chapter 5A of the General Statutes deals with contempt. Article 1 of that Chapter deals with criminal contempt and Article 2 deals with civil contempt. The procedures and punishment for the two types differ. The compelling of obedience to decrees for the benefit of private parties is ordinarily governed by the law dealing with civil contempt. See Mauney v. Mauney, 268 N.C. 254
