Syllabus

A temporary support order that has not been reduced to judgment is not a final appealable order until a final judgment and decree of divorce is filed. In this case, the temporary order has not been reduced to judgment and, at the time the appeal was filed, the parties' divorce action was still pending. Therefore, this court is without jurisdiction to consider appellant's assignments of error contesting the temporary spousal support order. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by finding appellant in contempt of court for his failure to pay the temporary support order and his failure to comply with an order that he submit to and pay for a vocational assessment. Judgment affirmed.
