McCAW v. McCAW

Record No. 1322-90-1.

403 S.E.2d 8 (1991)

James B. McCAW, III v. Nancy C. McCAW.

Court of Appeals of Virginia.

April 9, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Beril M. Abraham (Valerie H. Bowen, Goldblatt, Lipken & Cohen, and Pender & Coward, on brief), for appellant.

Jerrold G. Weinberg (Dee M. Sterling, Weinberg & Stein, on brief), for appellee.

Present: BAKER, MOON and WILLIS, JJ.


MOON, Judge.

James B. McCaw, III, seeks reversal of the trial court's order holding him in contempt for his failure to abide by the terms of a stipulation agreement that provided that he would "not alter, modify, or abrogate" an agreement made between him and his mother regarding certain Virginia Beach property. We hold that the agreement made for the benefit of McCaw's daughter may be enforced in an action by his wife by use of the contempt power of the court.
