54 Mass. App. Ct. 469 (2002)

NICHOLAS KARELLAS v. STACY KARELLAS.

Court of Appeals of Massachusetts, Middlesex.

April 11, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dean Amrose for Nicholas Karellas.

Janet M. Lydon for Stacy Karellas.

Present: GREENBERG, DOERFER, & COHEN, JJ.


DOERFER, J.

This an appeal from an order of a judge of the Probate and Family Court that the husband, Nicholas Karellas, pay interest on an amount awarded to the wife in a divorce judgment. The husband argues that his delay in failing to pay the judgment should have been enforced by a complaint for contempt and that interest could only be awarded as a remedy for contempt. We disagree and hold that the judgment bore interest from the date of its entry.
