How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding courts have inherent and statutory authority to enforce their orders through civil contempt sanctions
  • finding no abuse of discretion where Father failed to submit the required financial affidavit and the court relied on an affidavit from Mother’s attorney who investigated his income
  • Court has no realistic means of evaluating prejudice without an offer of proof
  • “Because Father did not make an offer of proof to establish the relevance of the child’s testimony to the motions hearing, we have no way to gauge its admissibility or any prejudice that may have resulted from its exclusion.”
  • “Rule 10.05 sanctions are generally not available for challenges to discretionary rulings, unless an appeal lacks cogent argument, there is an absence of pertinent legal authority to support the issues, or there is a failure to adequately cite to the record.”
