Nancy C. Fennell v. James M. Fennell

Syllabus

James M. Fennell (Father) appeals the family court's order (1) finding him in willful contempt for violating his final divorce decree (the Divorce Decree) with Nancy C. Fennell (Mother); (2) requiring him to pay college tuition and expenses for Katelyn Fennell (Daughter); and (3) requiring him to pay Mother's attorney's fees. On appeal, Father argues the family court erred because the clause addressing Daughter's college tuition and related expenses was ambiguous, there was no meeting of the minds, and his actions were not willful; thus, he was not required to reimburse Mother for past college tuition and expenses, contribute equally to Daughter's future college tuition and expenses, and pay Mother's attorney's fees. We affirm.
