Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Martin N. Kute, Michael J. O'Connell, Marcia Ford Seiler, Louisville, for appellant.

STEPHENS, Chief Justice.

The issue in the present case is whether it was error for the Jefferson Circuit Court to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, a motion to enforce a pre-existing, valid order finding the custodial parent in contempt of court for failure to comply with the court's previous orders regarding visitation. We conclude that jurisdiction exists and therefore, reverse.
