Amanda Paige Ryan-Cothron v. William Michael Cothron

Syllabus

This appeal arises from a petition filed by a former wife alleging that the former husband breached their marital dissolution agreement. Wife sought $10,000 in damages to property that husband had allegedly damaged in the manner in which the property was stored. The trial court awarded Wife $7,820 in damages. Husband appeals, asserting that the court erred in adopting the values stated in the marital dissolution agreement in assessing Wife's damages and in not holding that Wife failed to mitigate her damages. Wife asserts that she was entitled to attorney's fees in accordance with the enforcement provision of the MDA. We affirm the award of damages and reverse the denial of Wife's application for attorney's fees.

Judges: Judge Richard H. Dinkins
